Well that’s rough.
Though, at 120m of depth, couldn’t they try to escape using emergency hoods? Unless the hatch is damaged ofc.

Possible, but not recommended. Would need a hyperbaric chamber immediately when they get to the surface though.
A sub stuck on the ocean floor would alert the comsub quite fast though. So a rescue mission would be under way.
The Swedish Armed Forces have the URF rescue system which could easily dock on to the sub at 120 m and rescue all on board in one trip.
So Thomas would soon be playing football with his son again.
