You're a GATA right?

Because of that I do not believe that you are arrogant or pompous enough for such a venture (plus I am a 50+ white male and nobody wants us around) so due to that....

My worst case scenario was that something with the balance/ballast had also gone wrong and the sub had went vertical, either nosed into the ocean floor, or was bobbing vertically at the surface, and so all five of them were forced into basically standing up, and spent a few days standing in shit and piss (or leaning on the sides with their feet/ankles in it)..  And vomit if they were stuck at the surface bobbing up and down.  I guess if it was bobbing up and down at the surface, they'd have fallen into the shit, piss, and vomit at some point.  And the smell would only get worse.  Days of standing/leaning in shit/piss/vomit, knowing they couldn't get out.

I am willing to help you with your historic mission. I do expect to be compensated for these important items but am willing to give you a surly discount. If you can Venmo me $350,000 by 7 pm CST tomorrow I can also throw in some beanie babies and legos. All of which I am sure you’ll be grateful to get.

Once again bringing back Project Azorian to this thread; in 1968 the Navy found, within a 5 mile radius, a sunken Soviet sub in the North Pacific off of the underwater implosion signatures, and they didn't even know the exact date the sub sank, but "heard it" from their recordings:

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Azorian

 

Quote

The American SOSUS hydrophone network in the northern Pacific was tasked with reviewing its recordings in the hope of detecting an implosion (or explosion) related to such a loss. The Navy analyzed acoustic data from four AFTAC sites and the Adak, AlaskaSOSUS array,[7] locating the wreck of the submarine to within 5 nautical miles (9 km). The site was hundreds of miles away from the Soviet Navy search area.[8]

Naval Facility (NAVFAC) Point Sur, south of Monterey, California, was able to isolate a sonic signature on its low-frequency array recordings of an implosion event that had occurred on March 8, 1968. Using NavFac Point Sur's date and time of the event, NavFac Adak and the US West Coast NAVFAC were also able to isolate the acoustic event. With five SOSUS lines-of-bearing, Naval Intelligence was able to localize the site of the K-129wreck to the vicinity of 40.1° N latitude and 179.9° E longitude (close to the International Date Line).[9]

Many thanks for your offer of the non-gender neutral Mr. Potato Head, what appears to be a Jimbo Fisher Brand Dumpster Fire…and a Lite-Brite.  While intriguing, the Beta testing will not include those items. 

I am, however, very interested in the emergency communication device.

I’m guessing training, needed confirmation of debris and to wait out the 96 hr window

[GoPokes83 2248]

Wondered if there’d be anything left to eventually wash ashore or how long it took for them to die and if they suffered.

Catastrophic Implosion of a submersible explained:

When a submarine hull collapses, it moves inward at about 1,500 miles per hour - that’s 2,200 feet per second.

The time required for complete collapse is 20 / 2,200 seconds = about 1 millisecond.

A human brain responds instinctually to stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response (senseâ†'reasonâ†'act) is at best 150 milliseconds.

The air inside a sub has a fairly high concentration of hydrocarbon vapors.

When the hull collapses it behaves like a very large piston on a very large Diesel engine.

The air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion. Large blobs of fat (that would be humans) incinerate and are turned to ash and dust quicker than you can blink your eye.

I'm no expert, but sonar, while pretty awesome, isn't eyes-on-confirmation a government might feel comfortable announcing the death of five people on, with the idea of there being a minuscule chance it was a mistake.  So the Navy is damned-near positive it knows what it knows, but it goes through the motions (calls it training) until it finds something or, based on what it knows about their life-support duration, decides to operate on the theory that they're officially dead because the oxygen ran out.  Also, while we Surly-types are a bit more detached from the emotions involved, there are families and Blink182-loving step-children out there with one eye on the news and the other on OnlyFans, who are waiting with bated/bating breath, and relying on the veracity of what they're told (even though veracity seems to be in short supply these days). See Tik Tok Commenter Source Hillarity, infra.   So, in sum, the US Govt.'s just announcing, "We heard an 'earth-shattering kaboom' event, they're totally, friggin dead my dudes," just isn't how things are done by functional-top-levels-of-government.  Also, the Navy likes to keep secrets.  And neither probably is the worst thing in the world.

 

Some past presidents might have blabbed it out the instant they found out.  But I won't mention any by name because I have no intention of C/R-ing this awesome thread.

We now know that the Rhino Liner they covered the O/G sub with wasn't enough to overcome its shortcomings.  Might as well give the Gorilla a shot.

If your financial remuneration is dependent upon serving rum ham, we will be serving the very best rum ham in the dual purpose bidet/buffet.    A bit over budget, but if we get all of the fancy ciphering right we can save on the pressure testing.  I have never had a propane tank or a scuba tank fail. I think those tests are a money scam.
