But then I've never been aboard a sub in my life, so I don't know what these hatches would sound like for "real".

I don't have the game yet so I can't comment on the in-game sounds, but the ones from SH3 are pretty good. One-half-inch-thick steel weighs forty pounds per square foot, so if we assum the hatches are only half that thick even the smallest ones will weigh around two hundred pounds (assuming I figured that right, which I probably didn't). Even if it's only twenty pounds the hatch should close with a good solid metallic thunk.
