A more effective submarine force can do a lot of damage, but it would take more than just building more and better subs. They would have to have a completely new top leadership for it to work. I agree that eliminating the worthless efforts on capital ships could redirect efforts elsewhere, but it should be realized that this would not do more than delay the inevitable. And not all German surface ships were ineffective. The E-boats performed a vital service.
