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.

I think that everyone involved in the search already assumed it was an implosion. The sub lost comms and navigation simultaneously which strongly suggested a catastrophic event.

Sub Brief had a good overview on the structural parts of the sub. Sad as it may be this was the best way for the casualty to occur. Hopefully this will temper others in their designs on these smaller subs. Does anyone else have good resources on what some of the other subs out there are made from?
