Underwater microphones designed to detect enemy submarines first detected Titan tragedy.

I suppose there was some discussion on whether to conceal or reveal the tech and that’s why we’ve only heard of this now.

The US Coast Guard did NOT detect any implosions just as they said. It was the US Navy that detected it.

Whether or not that was communicated to the USCG, I don’t know.

Edit: now I see in the article- it was communicated on Sunday. But the USCG statement was still technically true. They didn’t detect an implosion.

Probably top secret systems for the navy and they needed top level approval to share anything from it publicly. Maybe even approval from the president.
