best way to kill a sub is to pack a DD with a sonarman and HH.  Leave ASW to the ships designed for it.  Subs should be killing ships, not subs.

Putting a sonarman on a DD extends the range of his sonar.  I use a lvl 90 ebve sonarman on my somers and can see most subs before they see me, allowing me to throw hh on gradual and hit them before they can crit under it.  This means that I can attack a sub without the threat of being torped, as it should be for a DD, the only real ASW ship.
 
My biggest pet peeve in this game is when my team's subs decide to go attack an enemy sub that I'm trying to kill with hh.  Then they get tk'd and cry about it!  They saw me moving in on the sub, they saw me throwing hh, what did they expect?

update for SS 5.5's ?

The KM Type IX.4 front  and 2 rear tubes.  46 total torps.It can handily take down the KM Type XXI (SS 5.5), and will eliminate every other nations' subs too. Certainly the Type XXI is deadly, but the lack of rear torps puts it in a distinct disadvantage when in sub vs sub battles if another sub gets behind it.   Either one can win a battle depending on tactics.If I was in sub wars, I'd take the TYpe IX.
