Depends a lot on the depth, considering they were only halfway I imagine the water pressure combined with air escaping would have depressurized and atomized everything within 0.1-1.5 second.

They would have heard the hull moaning, before it happened, But, if they saw water even a drop or even a crack, they wouldn't have had time to comprehend they were dead.

Would they even have heard moaning? From everything I can tell, the whole idea was trading ductility for weight-reduction. I imagine something just... snapped. I suppose if you've got to go via an undersea vehicle incident, that's the least horrifying option, though.
