    According to submariners in other communities, the worst part would be any period of time where they knew they were sinking. That could be an hour of slowly falling from periscope depth or no time at all if the hull failed at a deep enough depth. The water forms a piston much like one in a truck engine that compresses the air enough to cause combustion. Any of the three things in that nano second will kill you before your body can process the information. The water hammer, the pressure shift, and the implosion all occur too quickly for the nerves to transmit the information.

        Some states pay $1M+ for executions, so a $250k submarine ride might save them money

        Yeah but don’t make it all James Bondish. Just put the perp it and make it dive. No bragging how inescapable it is and like leaving one guard there for an hour before you load them into the cylinder. Also the perp isn’t allowed any trinkets or one final kiss etc.
