lol they're dead.

No good way to go, either. Crushed to death in an implosion, suffocated due to lack of air, or drowned.

IDK, instantly crushed to death with no warning sounds like a pretty great way to go in general.

Anything that goes from the inside of the sub to the outside weakens it; making the sealing mechanism external only makes for a simpler and stronger hull.

Technically they could have included special stuff like emergency explosive bolts and whatnot but that costs $$$.

Yea but at the depths it's designed to go, as long as the door opens outward it's pretty much self sealing from the external water pressure isn't it? Kinda like the other way around of an airplane plug door. Seems like it's more a matter of the big hole in the pressure vessel compromising the integrity of the whole thing which is what you need to design around, and less of there being a particular Achilles heel in part of the system.

If they're bobbing on the surface somewhere and get found it's pretty easy, just double time a ship over, secure the sub, and pop the hatch.

gently caress, we lost the 10mm socket again!
