The implosion of the Titan submarine (OceanGate) was so rapid that the pain wasn't even registered by the brain. They didn't feel anything at all. Utterly instantaneous.

American nuclear subs seem to be pretty cool, they apparently have the best food in all the millitary because of how important morale is when you are underwater for weeks,

Also, millitary submarines are built by engineers who believe in the basic laws of nature, not a megalomaniac billionaire who believes to know better than actual scientists.

Like seriously this entire story is still so insane to me because the outcome was so ridiculousy obvious,

The main difference, as far as food would go, is that there is more room for storage on boomers and they have very specific schedules, they know how long their patrol will be and can plan for it. So they might have better food. But fast attacks are smaller and not as precisely scheduled.
