John Mauger, of the First Coast Guard District.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the craft was reported missing, the U.S. Navy went back and analyzed its acoustic data and found an anomaly that was \u201cconsistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,\u201d a senior Navy official told The Associated Press on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive acoustic detection system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Navy passed on that information to the Coast Guard, which continued its search because the Navy did not consider the data to be definitive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OceanGate Expeditions, the company that owned and operated the submersible, said in a statement that all five people in the vessel, including CEO and pilot Stockton Rush, \u201chave sadly been lost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The others on board were two members of a prominent Pakistani family, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood; British adventurer Hamish Harding; and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world\u2019s oceans,\u201d OceanGate said in a statement. \u201cWe grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OceanGate has been chronicling the Titanic\u2019s decay and the underwater ecosystem around it via yearly voyages since 2021. The company has not responded to additional questions about the Titan\u2019s voyage this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coast Guard will continue searching for more signs about what happened to the Titan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the Navy likely detected the implosion Sunday through its acoustics system,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/titan-titanic-submersible-sound-0a6cdf7fdd6d2b2ffff1f8b25f081faf\" target=\"_blank\">underwater sounds<\/a>&nbsp;heard Tuesday and Wednesday \u2014 which initially gave hope for a possible rescue \u2014 were probably unrelated to the submersible. The Navy\u2019s possible clue was not known publicly until Thursday, when&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/u-s-navy-detected-titan-sub-implosion-days-ago-6844cb12\" target=\"_blank\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a>&nbsp;first reported it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a search area covering thousands of miles \u2014 twice the size of Connecticut and in waters 2 1\/2 miles (4 kilometers) deep \u2014 rescuers all week&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/missing-sub-titanic-search-live-updates-c2470ab6159caf32ca11010d4f4ce5e7\" target=\"_blank\">rushed ships, planes and other equipment<\/a>&nbsp;to the site of the disappearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Broadcasters around the world&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/missing-titanic-submersible-pakistan-media-d9e2be998edd2ed7578a183d868dfffe\" target=\"_blank\">started newscasts<\/a>&nbsp;at the critical hour Thursday with news of the submersible. The Saudi-owned satellite channel Al Arabiya showed a clock on air counting down to their estimate of when the air could potentially run out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The White House thanked the U.S. Coast Guard, along with Canadian, British and French partners who helped in the search and rescue efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur hearts go out to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives on the Titan. They have been through a harrowing ordeal over the past few days, and we are keeping them in our thoughts and prayers,\u201d it said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Titan launched at 6 a.m. Sunday and was reported overdue that afternoon about 435 miles (700 kilometers) south of St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland. By Thursday, when the oxygen supply was expected to run out, there was little hope of finding the crew alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2021 and 2022, at least 46 people successfully traveled on OceanGate\u2019s submersible to the Titanic site, according to letters the company filed with a U.S. District Court in Norfolk, Virginia, that oversees matters involving the shipwreck. But questions about the submersible\u2019s safety were&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/titanic-sub-customer-arthur-loibl-ac612a48db35811b6610e67df5d6bfa4\" target=\"_blank\">raised by former passengers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the company\u2019s first customers&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/titanic-sub-customer-arthur-loibl-ac612a48db35811b6610e67df5d6bfa4\" target=\"_blank\">likened a dive he made to the site<\/a>&nbsp;two years ago to a suicide mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cImagine a metal tube a few meters long with a sheet of metal for a floor. You can\u2019t stand. You can\u2019t kneel. Everyone is sitting close to or on top of each other,\u201d said Arthur Loibl, a retired businessman and adventurer from Germany. \u201cYou can\u2019t be claustrophobic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the 2 1\/2-hour descent and ascent, the lights were turned off to conserve energy, he said, with the only illumination coming from a fluorescent glow stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dive was repeatedly delayed to fix a problem with the battery and the balancing weights. In total, the voyage took 10 1\/2 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nicolai Roterman, a deep-sea ecologist and lecturer in marine biology at the University of Portsmouth, England, said the disappearance of the Titan highlights the dangers and unknowns of deep-sea tourism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEven the most reliable technology can fail, and therefore accidents will happen,\u201d Roterman said. \u201cWith the growth in deep-sea tourism, we must expect more incidents like this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Associated Press writers Jon Gambrell in Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Ben Finley in Norfolk, Virginia; Frank Jordans in Berlin; Danica Kirka in London; and John Leicester in Paris contributed to this report.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Coast Guard will continue searching near the Titanic for more clues about what happened to the Titan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":107338,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":9,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[31,9],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3089,1692,1308],"class_list":["post-30771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home","category-federal-oversight"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"WXNSHXKPWJB65HPIP57YQ5XJEI","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-military\/2023\/06\/22\/us-coast-guard-says-debris-field-has-been-found-near-the-titanic\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>US Coast Guard says Titan submersible imploded near Titanic wreckage - Federal Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Coast Guard will continue searching near the Titanic for more clues about what happened to the Titan.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"US Coast Guard says Titan submersible imploded near Titanic wreckage\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Coast Guard will continue searching near the Titanic for more clues about what happened to the Titan.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/federaltimes\/federal-oversight\/2023\/06\/22\/us-coast-guard-says-debris-field-has-been-found-near-the-titanic\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Federal Times\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-06-22T17:11:59+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T15:09:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Patrick Whittle, The Associated Press, Holly Ramer, The Associated Press, Lolita C.
