To be fair, they're under water and sharks have been known to chew through electrical cables

I suspect the wired cabling would be to control components inside the sub, not outside. And I say that only because it's unlikely that wireless signals would penetrate the sub walls.

Yes but with this sub the water was on the inside too

Electrical cables inside submarines?

That's hardcore.

Have you seen pictures of the sub? What makes you think the wiring was all hidden?
