Stumbled on this, seems that the USS THRESHER nuclear submarine didn't implode instantly as it was believed, but that some of the crew (using the mainframe sonar) still was able to receive and transmit 24 hours later ! Also they heard "metal on metal banging" even later... Also implies USN just lied about this accident.
Interestingly the water samples initially took by the USS SEAWOLF show "20 times background radioactivity", which is "attributed to an error"...
So looks like the submarine took several days to actually sink, go below crush depht and eventually implode... A lot of question marks...

Bruce Rule, a naval acoustic and SOSUS expert who testified at the Thresher inquiry, has stated:
“This YouTube video is false, the Seawolf report the presenter is reading from is correct, but the final report certified it was false readings. Seawolf was confused by the active sonar and noise created by the destroyers and the diesel submarine Sea Owl searching for Thresher on 11 April 1963, the day after she was lost. She mistook all sounds from the searching ships as banging on the hull and sonar pings from Thresher. It was a mistake.”
