The destruction of the ozone layer would lead to an increase in ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface, not large-scale freezing of the oceans. The ozone layer helps protect the Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation, and its destruction would result in increased radiation but not affect ocean temperatures in the manner described.
