It does, however, explain the Navy’s reluctance to send even an aircraft into the search area.................
If the sensors are designed to hear a quiet enemy sub, they can hear an implosion.
Implosion was instant, but wonder what 5 aboard the submersible heard during minutes leading up to implosion.
One report the Navy spokesman said they did not report this at the time because they didn’t want to deter rescue operations until the outcome would be self evident. Take it for what it’s worth.
On Sunday and it says the Biden Admin milked it for as long as they could to distract from their Crimes
They did, and many here knew it from day one.
The Navy just didn’t say anything.
But dragging their feet was the first clue.
Remember the US was accused of blocking the rescue at first.
This is why. They knew it was a futile effort...............
Probably noise of the hull buckling.
Interestingly, the LACK of discussion on this in the media before yesterday is likewise a tell.
There may very well be some truth to the scuttlebutt that they withheld this info to seize control of the headlines to deflect from what’s obviously smearing the criminal clan...
...coupled with reports which can only be defined as originating from a well-timed ‘leak’.
Likely nothing. Once any flaw in the structure happened, the implosion was likely instantaneous. There probably was no warning.
“detecting the sound of the implosion just 500 meters from the Titanic shipwreck”
Interesting that they would disclose resolution capabilities.
Guess we won’t know since we don’t know about the super secret underwater acoustic listening systems planted all over the ocean bottom. Hey, did you hear that? Nope!
My understanding is that wound carbon fiber performs great under tension (== it holds pressure _inside_) but poorly under compression (== keeping pressure out). I'm kind of amazed that the vehicle performed as well as it did.
There was, but by itself it wasn't strong enough, hence the carbon fiber.
Yes, the pressure hull was a carbon fiber “laminate” tube.
I may be wrong but I don’t believe carbon fiber is often used in compression and most often is used in tension.
Also the greatest weakness in a laminate is the de-lamination.
In a 5 inch laminate the start of de-lamination could be very hard to detect if it began deep in the laminate.
Repeated compression of the hull would cause any defect in the laminate to propagate cracks and weaken the hull till it failed.
The hull should have been inspected carefully after each dive for signs of de-lamination. The entire hull should probably been x-rayed or at minimum been ultrasonically scanned.

and deluded other people with his arrogance. (my bold).
If hell has an Ironic Punishment Department (as seen in Simpsons ;)) Stockton may find himself watching safety videos, proper sub-building demonstrations, physics classes, etc….all narrated by 50 year-old white men…for eternity.
I noticed..........But underwater deep sea acoustics is a fairly well known subject...........
That was long before the Students for a Democratic Society began its operational history at Berkeley, right?
And before Jefferson Poland got expelled FRom FSU and moved to Berkeley, right?
