As an old "Cold Warrior" I found the posting by Werner fascinating. We should mourn the lost crew but me thinks too many are too sensitive about a taboo subject, the cold war. I hope additional interesting postings come from Werner. As a side note, the pressure vessels within the sub would fill with water in perhaps a few seconds and depending on the depth, milliseconds.
