I always understood that when a pressure hull fails at great depth it does so catastrophically. I saw a docu about the USS Thresher once (for those who are not familiar, the Thresher was a US SSN in the 60's that was lost due to pressure hull failure at great depth) and it suggested that the hull imploded almost instantaniously under the pressure.
Infact it also said that the crew was actually incinerated before they were crushed because the compression of the Oxygen in the boat, happened so quickly, it would cause it to spontainiously combust.
I don't know if this would apply to a WWII vintage sub, could it stand the depths that an SSN could before it was crushed? |
Yes, I have read this also MB. When I read over the submarine books and look at this game, the devs employed alot of RL into the game. Perhaps this is one of them. Again, are we just Hollywood hopefuls or do they implode that fast? I'm guessing they implode that fast.
