If they weren’t ascending at the right speed it was a motor failure. The hull was fiberglass it can’t deform, it can get cracks and hold or fail. The scary stuff leading up to failure would be loud sounds coming from the hull.
Nope and nope. It’s motors are for maneuvering mostly. The emergency ascent is about dumping weights to decrease the sub’s effective density, making it more bouyant.
The hull was carbon fiber, not fiberglass, and both deform readily under such pressure.
