Sincere question: if this did in fact implode (hopefully not), would there be identifiable wreckage? Would we be likely to find it? And how likely is it that the Navy or some other group picked up the audio of the implosion via hydrophone, etc? I'm trying to understand whether [1] they've heard a possible implosion and are proceeding with search and rescue against all hope; [2] they haven't heard one, and think that's indicative that it's still intact; or [3] they haven't heard one and aren't sure either way. Thank you.

Even if it would be intact and somehow floating at 3000 meters it would be probably very hard to find it. Just think about submarine warfare, even the big military ones can be pretty stealthy. And this is a small submarine mostly made of carbon fiber. Thats probably even hard to distinguish from a big fish with sonar. And if this thing is on the ground then sonar doesnt help. I think if this thing has no ping device on board (to make active sound), then they probably never find it. Assuming its still under water of course.
