I suspect the Russian (Kursk?)sub had compartments that were still intact once it was raised but it did not stay under long.
Kursk was filled with water in the first days despite that some rear compartments were intact.
when divers opened the scape hatch the scaping air show that there isn´t a lot of air inside perhaps only a small pocket.
After some body recover operations they closed again the hatch until the raising of the boat.

A sunk submarine after 40 years must be completly filled with water and very rusty with the corrosion effects.
