The SOFAR bomb had the explosive equivalent of several hand grenades. So, it would certainly have done substantial damage to the capsule, if not completely destroyed it. A shockwave in the air can do lots of damage. A shockwave in a dense medium (such as water) is many times worse.
But, I'm going OT here. Nice subject PK. Looking forward towards the end-result.
