Ya but even so they could have sent rescue ships there because "we think it could be here" - nothing given up.

I could imagine a cost-benefit analysis making sense here.

- Pro: increased chance of saving a few people's lives

- Con: risk of leaking info about U.S. sonar sensitivity

I.e., the decision would depend on the magnitude of the "pro" and "con" probabilities.

If it imploded the chance of survival is zero.

If they detected an implosion there's no chance of saving anyone's lives. It would increase the chance of maybe finding bodies, though.

Audible-at-a-distance implosion ==>> Everyone inside is ~liquified

The actual Pro would be "minor calibration opportunity for our secret sensor network".

It gives up bounds on how fast we can locate something.
