Not necessarily crushed into oblivion, but yes, 'crush depth' or something siimilar how submariners refer to it. When I was in the Navy and flying S-3's (anti-sub), I remember our simulator had a recording of a sub being crushed after we would succesfully torpedo it in training. Several Tom Clancy novels have submarine sinkings in them where the shooters hear the sub being crushed on their acoustic gear.
