The US Navy and others, I’m sure, have listening devices planted all along the sea floors to keep track of underwater traffic noises.
The USS Scorpion nuclear submarine was lost in 1968 off the coast of the Azores, with all hands.
Months later, during the investigation, they found that the implosion sound had been recorded by these devices, as the sub fell through ‘crush depth’. And that was using 1968 technology.
I guarantee you the US Navy knows at this point whether or not that sub is still functioning or has been crushed.................
IIRC, those acoustic records were later destroyed.

That’s your guess. My guess is that with the “peace dividend” and the presidencies of Clinton, Obama and Biden a lot of things were turned off.
