This was the HMS Northumberland incident from back in 2020:

A Royal Navy warship was hit by a Russian submarine while on patrol in the North Atlantic Ocean.
HMS Northumberland had been searching for the submarine after it disappeared from the ship�s view in the Arctic Circle shortly before the incident took place.
The submarine hit the warship�s sonar � a piece of equipment being towed hundreds of metres behind it, which was fitted with sensitive hydrophones for listening under water.
The incident, which happened in late 2020, was captured by a documentary crew from Channel 5 who were filming a television series called Warship: Life At Sea.
