I haven't found an explanation, but photos show a trailing cable. The only two options I can think of that could work are

  • cable (probably fiber, either way, a physical connection either to the mothership or a buoy)
  • sonar (you can modulate data onto a sonar ping)

The reason why they stopped communicating is now (likely) known - looks like the sub imploded.
