In the 80's My husband was an Inertial Navigator on board the USS Grant SSBN 631, a Boomer Sub. He of course had access to the Bathysphere, which measures the depth of the water that the Boat is in. It that EXACT area they watched the thing just DROP. And it didn't come back. Meaning they were in water so deep.... yea.... There is a BIG hole there. REAL big.

Did your husband say that the Bathysphere was LOST?

Don't want to nitpick, but a Bathysphere on a submarine is used to measure the water temperature and identify isotherm layers for sonar searches. A Fathometer is used to measure the water depth. Ever spend time in Groton?
