The Japanese and British used float planes.

I would assume the project was scrapped because it is basically impossible to land on a submarine.

It is hard enough to land a helicopter on a ship with a proper flight deck. But landing a much less stable VTOL on a tiny submarine without any sizeable flight deck in the 60s was completely out of the question.
