Do submarines implode when they sink?
Only if they sink beyond their stress limit (crush depth). Subs are built to withstand the pressures very deep and will not "implode" unless they sink in very deep water. Don't forget; It is very rare for a submarine to sink with its pressure hull intact. Why would it sink when it is not taking on water? When it is taking on water and sinking, the water will enter the submarine at enormous pressures so the submarine will be flooded before it implodes. If, during the sinking, a compartment was sealed off from the compartment that is flooding it could implode but normally something else will give way (a hatch or a pipe) and so that compartment will also be flooded.
