    It’s also possible it has floated to the surface and they can’t locate it because it’s very hard to see when surfaced.

    That sub has melt away ballast connections. The attachments to what allows the sub to sink will melt away after 8? hours. So it may have floated back up.

    Problem is they are bolted in from the outside and they have no communications working.

    I read an account that a person standing on the recovery ship, could not pick out the sub when it was right next to the ship. It sits so low in the water with barely anything above the surface.
