Whatever the problem was that sunk her ... it had to happen fast.
Most US submarines run around with all compartment hatches open. I suspect the Russians are the same ...
only in an emergency or a drill or for battle stations would the hatches be dogged watertight.
The topedo's were suspected in the Scorpion sinking too,
but I think not. Not in that case, but aren't these Russian torpedo's
the super fast 60 to 70 kts and only go in a straight line?
Perhaps their own fish did it, but not Uncle Sam's ... that's for sure.
But don't ya'll remember some of the crew made it to the aft escape trunk and died in the trunk from lack of air?
I thought they left a note, a clue perhaps.
