If there are truly no vertical stabs, double engine failure will make that puppy’s yaw an interesting variable to control. Powered, the vectored trust can be made to work, but without? Sounds like a nylon letdown is in the future. Perhaps it has speed brakes on the wings that can be deployed asymmetrically to control yaw, as on the B-2. The B-2 has no thrust vectoring, and certainly no vertical control surfaces, and I doubt that it becomes uncontrollable if the engines fail.

I went through the document and didn’t see anything of the kind.

I’m not buying the lack of yaw control either. It makes sense though because Boeing. I wonder how many pitch sensors it has?

Check out Northrop-Grumman’s submersible at the 0.34 mark on the updated high-res video at the link I posted #29. Looks like sub design is about to make a major change - if the idea works out.
