When German submarines started sinking British ships who asked the U.S. for help?
Yes, the above answer is correct. But I believe it was Winston Churchill's Rapport with the President of America, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, that led to the USA coming to the help of Britain and her Allies. At first it was lease-lend - helping with old ships, etc, but in return in Britain allowing America to set up facilities in British held territories. But, once Japan attacked Pearl Harbour, America were able to publically declare war - and America geared up to help Britain and the Allies in defeating Germany, and Japan.
How did people become sponsors of submarines?
Ship / Submarine commissioning sponsors are typically chosen from the ranks of political or military dignitaries; in many cases, if a ship is named for a person, the spouse or a close relative is chosen (always a woman in modern times). If named for a City or State, a Senator's wife from the State may be chosen, or if the Senator is female, the Senator herself.
In the past 60 years it's been politically motivated as well; submarines and ships are typically named for those who have been politically generous to the Navy and military in general. For example, the USS Nautilus was sponsored by Mamie Eisenhower, President Eisenhower's wife, and the USS Jimmy Carter was sponsored by Carter's wife Rosalynn.

During this time, his father became very sick and died, and as a result, Carter resigned his commission to manage family interests.

How many wheels on a submarine?
One assumes you mean steering and up and down controls, not wheels for traction. On the older pattern- all WW-2 and earlier and early Nuclear subs- there are three wheels, the steering wheel proper is in the center line of the control room- a duplicate in the conning tower( above the CR) used only on the surface, natch) this controls the lateral steering control and is equipped with gyroscopic compass, etc as the sub navigates blindly. on one side of the control room are two - usually one behind the other handwheels- hydraulically boosted like automobile power steering ( not however automatic) for control in the vertical plane with the Bow and stern Diaplanes sometimes called with some accuracy, Ballast wheels. (The up and down) the officer of the deck funnels control commands to the quartermaster at the main wheel, and the bow and stern planesman, also the officer in charge of the Ballast panel, usually a comissioned officer- this is a vital spot, behind the Christmas Tree, to issue routine commands to conn the ship. the more modern nuclear subs have ( De Haviland yokes) side by side for the two planesmen-steermen and these control both course and up and down motion like airplane control yokes. De Havilland was a British aircraft company. the ballast I have already discussed. on Fleet type subs once cleared and all hatches, vents in the proper positions ( Green Board!) it was Take Her Down! Flood One, Three, Five and Seven ( odd numbered forward tanks) that should get rapid decent action in as little as 60 seconds at normal power settings. try the submarine technical manual offered by Mil Issue- it is fascinating reading has good diagrams of the controls and instruments involved, is on the level, submerged, that isl. was published originally in l946 for the Navy.
What eventually happened to the germans' use of submarines in world war 2 to blockade Britain?
The Allies' development and use of both the escorted convoy system and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) weapons and techniques, and the breaking of the German ENIGMA code, spelled the end of the early successes that Germany's U-boats enjoyed at the outset of WWII.
Escort vessels in time came to include Destroyers, Destroyer Escorts (Frigates), Escort Carriers for air cover (initial use of Merchant Carriers was an interim measure before EC's were introduced).
ASW technology and weapons, including Radar, Hedgehog/Squid ASW mortars, and the nighttime Leigh Light (a powerful spotlight aligned with Radar to illuminate U-boats during their final surface attack run), provided a significant improvement in kills and a proportionate decrease in losses.
This convergence of all ASW technology eventually led to an end-of-war 75% loss rate for the U-boats.

To sell records and make lots of money.
"Yellow Submarine" possibly has the unique distinction of being adopted by the supporters of many British football teams (with the colour appropriately changed) as the team song.
