    Out of curiosity what could you learn for sure? I am confessing my ignorance on the subject as it seems that after an implosion you won't find much intact.
    I have some deeply morbid curiosity as to exactly what condition the bodies would be in.

    According to this search and rescue expert he has gotten word through some channels that a few pieces of the debris field were believed to be the landing frame and a rear cover. This has yet to be officially verified.

    Good question.
    "I" probably could lean nothing from it.
    But the eggheads that study this stuff, can probably draw a lot of info from it.

    Or, maybe they'll learn nothing.

    We know something about the loss of the USS Thresher.
    But very little about the loss of the USS Scorpion.


    At that pressure, assuming a breach of hull, the water is so fast, the majority of the hull will still be intact.
    People think about a hull breach as the entire hull collapsing.
    And, maybe it has happened.
    But usually, there is something causing some weak point. Microscopic weld defect. Hull penetration for electrical wiring. Something like that.
    The defect allows the water in. The water flows so fast, only the area around the defect is damaged. Cause once the water is in, the pressure is equalized.

    By listening to the SOSUS system, when the USS Thresher sank, the water is estimated to have reached speeds of 4,000 miles per hour.

    And that was shallower.

    Even assuming 1/10th of that, 400mph, what condition would they be in?

    I did a small story on the USS Thresher.
    Of course, fiction. Since no one was there to know what people said, or did.

    4000 mph is around mach 5,
    a water jet operates about 2500 mph, mach 3.

    Well, think of all of the plane crashes where little to nothing is left of the jet, but they eventually do figure out what went wrong in most cases.

    Speculation. If they dig long enough, they can find something to blame it on, just to satisfy those who want an answer.
