Maybe they simply forgot to charge the battery that operated the propellers.

It occurred to me that the electric motors could have froze up. It’s pretty cold down there....................

The de Havilland Comet had square windows. Stress cracks developed at the corners and unzipped the roof.

Yes, it took me a while to decipher what your point was. I remembered the square window problem................

If they can bang, doesn’t it make more sense to use the SOS distress code?

So what’s the salvage plan if they find it?

They aren’t using any oxygen, and haven’t been since contact was lost.

Likely but that’s just an opinion, not a fact.

"That's an interesting discussion involving the word "imploded". For underwater vehicles (submaries/submersibles), I've heard it proposed that what happens is that rather than a complete structural failure, the weakest thru-hull fitting gives way and the vessel floods rapidly and the pressure on the hull becomes equal inside and outside. That having been accomplished, the pressure hull suffers no further damage. This scenario is rather different than being "crushed" like an aluminum can underfoot."Here's the problem with that. In that scenario, the communications and telemetry devices would have survived long enough to be pinged from the mother ship all the way to the ocean floor, and location would be down to maybe 5 square miles, at most. That did not happen.

At depths like we’re dealing with here, there would be no rapid flooding. Even a hole the size of a pin prick would bring a catastrophic implosion that would happen in less than a millisecond: much faster than a human’s brain can respond to any stimulus (25 ms).
To: StAnDeliver
the communications and telemetry devices would have survived long enough to be pinged from the mother ship all the way to the ocean floorIn the event of a failure of a thru hull the submersible would have filled with high pressure water nearly instantaneously destroying the electronics and the people just as fast as an implosion. Really a distinction without a difference.
