I'm not defending the guy or sub, obviously it was sub par. but i never hear anyone talk about the fact that it dove to the titantic ~10 times prior to the last one.
| That is the point of the word repeatedly in the post you quoted.
The fact it went to the Titanic 10 times is essentially why it failed the 11th time - every time you go down it basically flexes the assembly which weakens it; this time it presumably developed a small crack which explosively expanded resulting in the decompression.
