You're right, from the pictures I saw, they just looked like strip lights, but they do seem to double as handles.

They're handles with built in LED strips designed for RVs.

Like what good is text message communication for navigation?

"I went a little bit forward"
"Sure thing boss"


"Battery at 83%"
"Ok"

"The alarm for hull damage beeped once or twice we are going to come up"
"Ok"

How does send text communication help you navigate 4km down?

I'm betting their replies were mostly Teams emojis

The idiots fired and sued the safety engineer that refused to certify the groversub because they didn't want to fork over money to x-ray the hull after testing at pressure.

If it was a real Groversub they would have just got their own certifications and signed off on their own poo poo

Also the sub would have 120 outlets

If it turned out this happened and that extra time was what allowed them personally to be rescued, what would the reaction be?

Subs operate on Vegas rules, what happens in the deep ocean bathypelagic zone stays in the deep ocean bathypelagic zone

What do you want to bet that even if the sub experienced explosive decompression and the carbon fiber shell shattered into a million pieces the rusty ballast pipes are somehow still attached
