Titan Submersible: New Details Emerge After Discovery of Missing Vessel
The U.S. Navy has shared new details about the discovery of the missing Titan Submersible, which went missing on Sunday while exploring the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean to view the wreckage of the Titanic.
After the reported deaths of its five passengers were announced on Thursday, U.S. Navy officials shared with the Wall Street Journal that they detected implosion sounds hours after the submersible began its voyage.
A top-secret military acoustic detection system picked up what is believed to be the Titan Submersible implosion hours after the vessel began its journey.
The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the submersible was operating when communications were lost, a senior U.S. Navy official shared in a statement to the outlet.
While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the incident commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.

According to the outlet, the Navy began listening for the Titan after it went missing.
The reported sounds detected by the Navy’s acoustic detection system were heard near the area where a remotely operated vehicle, ROV, operated by the U.S. Coast Guard reportedly discovered a debris field.
The debris is believed to have aided in the discovery of the missing vessel.
While speaking about the debris in a press conference on Thursday, the Coast Guard explained that the debris was found 1,600 feet from the bow of the tailbone of the Titanic and shared that the debris field was consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel.
Wingate Expeditions, the company that hosted the expedition, also confirmed the discovery of the missing vessel in a statement to PEOPLE.
“We now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzad Ardawood and his son Suleiman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul Henry Nargilat, have sadly been lost,” the company said in a statement.
“These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans,” the statement continued.
