I cant imagine a laser being useful at any kind of realistic range. The water attenuation of the light beam would degrade it to uselessness in under 100', even in clear water.
Regarding the possibility of a container being involved in the collision. My hope is that out of this the US government finds a way (satellite imagery or or RADAR etc) to find flotsam containers and like GPS then releases it to the public. Semi-submerged containers have sunk many yachts over the years, and have killed good sailors.

A sub cannot be using its obstacle-avoidance/mine-hunting sonar when it wants to be stealthy. However, a laser proximity sensor would be useful to detect unexpected terrain. Being of short range and limited spread, it does not significantly affect the stealth of the sub.
Well done piece boys. đź‘Ź

The investigation would show that a serious mistake was made on his boat. Whether or not that mistake was his fault is immaterial. It’s his boat. We entrusted it to him because he said he would use it to protect us, and he wasn’t able to fulfill that promise.

In today's Navy? Who knows.
Nope it’s a Los Angeles class submarine. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_San_Francisco_(SSN-711)

It struck me that the skipper will be sacked for this even without further investigation?
