The U.S. Navy suspected there was a Titanic explosion just hours after Titan submersible sank into the ocean to examine Titanic wreckage.

A U.S. Department of Defense official said that the Navy began listening for Titan when the ship lost communication with its mothership about one hour and forty five minutes into Sunday’s mission.

According to officials, the Navy’s top secret acoustic detection system detected sounds that were consistent with an implosion or explosion near the Titan where it was found on Thursday.

According to Fox News Digital, the official said, “While the information was not definitive, the incident commander received it immediately to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.” ”

The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the discovery of the Titan submersible debris earlier that day.

U.S. Coast Guard rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters that the debris was consistent with “catastrophic loss” of the chamber.

Titan lost contact around one hour and 45 minutes into the dive. It was approximately 900 nautical mile east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and 400 nautical mile south of St John’s in Canada’s Newfoundland.

Stockton Rush of OceanGate, Hamish Harding a British businessman, Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, and their father Shahzada Dawood, who are from one of Pakistan’s wealthiest families, were all aboard the ship. Also on board was Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a former French Navy Officer and Titanic expert.
