I thought I remembered she was on her way home. That was one reason I suggested that there would be no announcement until after her due date. And if it was a steep slope and she had not been able to quickly recover positive bouyancy (for any of a number of reasons) she could have passed not only design crush depth but actual crush depth. What was the ocean floor in that region?
From memory, 10,000 feet deep. And the ship was described as "creeping" upward after the tanks were blown. So just a wee, wee little bit more damage, and it would be a complete loss of hands. I guess there is an automated distress beacon, so it would be found.
