The tech probably switches off automatically to hide it when it crashes to stop people like Putin from finding it.
You would expect them too know exactly where at th bottom of the sea it is. With all the hi-tech radars and latest gear on it. Unfortuntely it seems not. The F35 was a poor choice. Just to please our American "Allies", . A pity.
