18. The likeliest answer

is that they were riding with an open hatch, with one of them (the commander) with his head above deck. When they went into the bog he fell out and drowned outside while the other 3 couldn't get out and died inside.

Depending on how the carrier fell as it went in, it might have landed on him and pushed him deep into the mud on the bottom.



That explanation is far, far more likely than anything else.
