Just curious.. what happens to the crew and passengers when a supersonic submarine hits something hard enough to breech the hull?

It sounds more like something you would use fir a torpedo tgan for a sub. Think about it. A supersonic torpedo would be hard to miss. And would probably rip one through a ship. The air bubble travel may not sound workable, but it takes the actual resiatance to travelling through water down. We launch missiles out of submarines with a bubble effect.

They die. What happens when an airplane hits a mountain?

Do you guys think that the engineers who are working on this haven’t thought about whales and what not?

I am sure they have sonar and what not to adjust their course or a big knife on the front to make going through them easier.
