  Whether the correct history is that they just happened on the sub by accident is irrelevant. In the movie, it's discovered by an intercepted radio transmission!

  How did the Allies decode the intercepted radio message of the German subs location? If they could decode that transmission in the first place, why would they need to take such risks to retreive that decoder on the sub?

  Stupid plot.

  Don't recall the correct number but remember that it had a different one.

  In fact, the captured sub brought in against explicit instructions to the contrary made the Navy furious. The Brits already cracked the code & this endangered that secret ability.
  

  ....just my 2¢

    You are absolutely correct. The sub was captured not as a “specific hunting operation” but as an accident and boosted the ego of a local commander. The UK was monitoring the German code for month at that time. When the sub was caught (without authorization) the military top was very irritated. It happened days before the Normandy and seriously compromised the intelligence ability right before the D-day. The sub was hiding up to the end of the war (from German intelligence) somewhere, I believe, in South America and later in Florida. It never served nether military not intelligence purpose. However, the entire story dose sound sexy…
