I'm ngl, I'm kind of morbidly curious what, if any, remains are there when a sub at this depth implodes. Will there even be any bodies that are retrievable?

There are some videos online of Delta P and it's affects. Most are not NSFL, but it illustrate this better below is a video of a railroad tanker car that was drained of liquid but not vented:

That's at 1ATM maximum. At 13,000ft there 500ATM. A large delta P has no problem pulping just about anything given the chance for catastrophic failure.
