Can a submarine get lost?

It can lose power, and thus propulsion and communications.

It could also have a catastrophic hull failure, and at the depths it goes to, that's really really bad.

Does not look good

Does not look good

If it's a power or propulsion failure, they might be able to figure out a way to hoist them up from the bottom, if they can find them before their life support runs out.

If it's a pressure vessel failure......no bueno.

What a nightmare.

5 people on board. They charge $125K for the dive and $250K per person for the total trip so not a lot of people onboard. It is possible they surfaced somewhere else off course for some reason in an emergency, but I wouldn't hold out much hope if the US is already dispatching another sub to the area to search.

But quick.

Tourist submarine? Big nuclear subs can stay down for months. How long can a tourist sub last?

I read about this. Not looking good. There's maybe one two good scenarios and a lot more bad ones. Hopefully they will be found, one way or the other.

The missing craft is believed to be OceanGate's Titan submersible, a truck-sized sub that holds five people and usually dives with a four-day supply of oxygen.
It is not known when contact with the craft was lost.

92 hours from one report I saw. Supposed to have safeties that cause it to auto surface if something goes wrong. My money is on one of those unruly killer whales that has been attacking boats got em.

our nukes can stay down for 30 years, the only limitation our nukes have is food, they must come up for food

 

[elektra]

it most likely rammed a pylon for a Wind Turbine and cracked it's hull like an egg

 

[Captain Caveman]

The only fact I know about the Titanic is, it's swimming pool is full of water.

had at least 5 in it and its the size of a minivan. I'm thinking someone did not think this through. Allegedly launched 4am sunday..YESTERDAY?? and no communications. last known location was 2500 feet down.
