I think you're looking for information about the U-570.  It surrendered to a British bomber after surfacing directly under the bomber.  It eventually joined the Royal Navy as the HMS GRAPH.  As for the rest of that story, I haven't heard anything except the the Captain of the U-570 was illegally tried for treason by his fellow officers while still in a POW camp in Canada.  Otto Kretschmer captain of the U-99 who was captured in 1941, talks of this "trial" in his autobiography.
