As already noted, the escape suits wouldn't work at this depth but, in any case, they require the wearer to equalize suit air pressure to the external water pressure either via an air lock or by flooding the entire compartment. This would not be possible in a torpedo tube even if they were within operational depth.Robinson tells Tobin to keep breathing out during the ascent. This is only required with "emergency swimming ascent" escapes when the only air is that in the escapee's lungs and it must be continually vented to prevent possibly fatal lung damage as the pressure changes. The escape suit vents as it rises, allowing the escapee to breath normally, just like a diving bell.
