A comment on Submarine missing near Titanic used a $30 Logitech gamepad for steering. Parent comment
If we’re talking worst mistake I think the lack of any form of communications equipment is it.
Hell, have a 4km long cable. Even if you can’t communicate because the sub is on fire or imploded you can drag them back up.
Of course it’s not nice if your sub implodes, but that’s kind of a requirement for using it in the first place.
