Common sense aint so common nowadays.

Back in the late 70's I got a chance to spend some time at the Guam Acoustic Range Facility... Those guys listened to everything that happened in the ocean... They could tell you by the sound what ships were in the area, how many screws were turning, all sorts of details.... They also had audio equipment record labels would be envious of... One of my buddies was in a band, that got him connected with the members of the US Navy band... Which got him connected with the guys at the acoustic range... Which got me a chance to go check it out....
Read about "Project Azorian" & the K129...

It's amazing. I've had the opportunity to listen in the sonar room of the Maryland, twice. Crazy stuff and stories from the operators.

Tourist video from a recent mission that was scrubbed due to weather and technical problems. Seems odd to me to tow submarine behind ship with rough seas battering it.

I see two sides to conspiracy theories... Some folks have very active imaginations... But then again lately it seems like what was a conspiracy last year is a road map of how things occurred this year...
Agreed one side has been batting 1,000.
Implosion detected; but NO complete verification of it until an ROV could make a confirmation. As such with five lives on the line, I’d assume they didn’t want to call it quits on an assumption. My question would be the delays with getting the visual. The ROV used wasn’t from the USA.
Recall the assumptions made with the Columbia Space Shuttle concerning the heat insulation that blew off wouldn’t cause any damage? Assumption that an estimated 2lbs of this material wouldn’t cause damage. Engineers pleaded to have military satellites adjusted to enable a closer view of the craft. Requests were denied.
The crew was basically lost then, just that they didn’t know it. Tests on a duplicate wing, with insulation shot at it with a cannon duplicating the velocity produced a gaping hole in the wing. More heartbreaking was another shuttle could have been launched for a possible rescue mission.

YOU NAILED IT!!
Updated system that heard Scorpion in 1968.
But what do I know.
Why do you "NEED" verification?? Location "Triangulated" therefore KNOWN: Location known due to loss of comms & tracking
At those depths and pressure, they ARE dust/fish food

Funny how we fixate so much on individual lives now. 5 people basically with nothing better to do than go on a joy ride.
I happened to watch a show this morning about WW2 subs, a couple of navy films.
In one they documented a US sub that was depth charged for 5 hours. Its batteries were running out so it surfaced to fight it out with the Japanese.
Of course it was getting pummeled,
so the skipper ordered the crew to scuttle the boat and abandon ship. But the skipper and ensign went down with the boat because they anticipated torture and they possessed too much information.
Soldiers and sailors giving their lives in the line of duty mean so much more to me.

Big-time failure:
Of 39,000 U-boat crewmen who went on patrol during the war, 27,490 of them did not come back, a fatality rate of 70.4 percent. And of the 11,500 lucky ones who evaded death, 5,000 – nearly one-half – survived only because the Allies rescued them after their U-boats were sunk.
