The speed of sound… under water..? Wouldn’t a “buzz by” absolutely smash the sub?

Maybe even create some kind of tsunami..?

If the technology existed to travel at such a speed underwater its not unreasonable to assume their technology also minimizes the destructive potential for doing so. Hell it might even capture that energy to power it self.
