There could have been a Firel aused by electrical malfunction. These were some of the posse Bill Les considered by Navy officer casting about for an explanation or the disappearance of the 278-foot Aube Urlac in Atlantic Waters 8.400 feet deep. These officers said it was impossible that there could have been a null car explosion in the sub atomic engine. Human error possible adm George w. Anderson Chelot naval operations acknowledged the possibility too. That human error by a crewman might have contributed to the disaster. But he said we Wilt never  me said that of course the possibilities of sabotage or enemy action in connection with the tragedy would a investigated. But he raid there was no evidence of  Navy spokesman said there re two Depths which arc critical to submarine. One is a test depth below which funny things Start to happen and the other 1 a collapse depth below which there is Complete Dis Aster. Both Depths Are classified information on nuclear sub marines. Distortion off Bulkhead when the submarine descends below the test depth there is the possible distortion of bulkheads. Pipes or equipment May break Loose. Should a Wall collapse or pipes dislodge the danger is that Alt water might reach the Bat Terle and form a toxic Gas As betas cause Short circuit. The most reasonable probability the spokesman said 1 that the vessel would Spring a leak one flooding from there on could no be controlled. Other ports of the submarine would succumb to the pressure building up outside. The various compartments of to submarine Are so spacious the spokesman said that once one was Drhu Arthe loaded it would be extremely Dlf cult to keep the vessel floating. If the submarine were in shallow Waters it would merely Settle on he Bottom with enough internal pressure to keep u from collapsing. But in deep Waters the situation becomes disastrous. Inevitably the outside pressure would stave in the Lull and the submarine would reak up sinking to the Bottom. Mattresses Wood Oil and bodies might eventually float to the sur Ace.
