So I think that leaves a few possibilities. Least likely, think, is sitting in tact at the bottom. Surfacing is second least, given it hasn't been found on the surface yet. So that leaves catastrophic failure as the most likely.
Hamish Harding mentioned it was rough waters for awhile before they got the OK. Could the sub have been unnoticeably damaged? Perhaps repeated trips have weakened the pressure vessle. It also departed at 4am, which leaves room for human error to have played a part. But I think all of this ignores the most likely explanation, that they were the first to encounter The Krakken.

It depends on what kind of fails safes are built in. If it’s like Cameron’s Subs and you had a power failure and a mechanical failure so the ballast couldn’t release then it would sit on the bottom of the ocean until the corrosion fail safe dropped the ballast. If it has that feature it could rescue itself at least to surface.
The crushed is the other option and with this being Carbon fiber based you could have catastrophic failure without warning compared to metals which usually give you indications they are failing.
I disagree with Krakkan though. The evidence clearly supports the an unknown intelligent earth based sea civilization responsible for the UAPs destroying the sub.
