Titan submarine history

The Titan submarine is a 5-person crew submarine operated by OceanGate, Inc. The ship is 6.7 meters (22 ft) long, and weighs 10,432 kg (23,000 lb) and is made of carbon fiber and titanium. The entire pressure vessel consists of two titanium hemispheres, two matching titanium interfacial rings, and a carbon fiber wound cylinder 142 cm (56 in) in diameter, 2.4 meters (7.9 ft) long. One titanium hemispherical end cap is provided with a 380 mm (15 in) diameter acrylic window. In 2020, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush stated that the hull had been lowered to a depth of 3,000 m (9,800 ft) after showing signs of cyclic fatigue. In 2020 and 2021, Titan is being rebuilt.

The Titan submarine made its first dive to the Titanic in July 2021. The Titan submarine made additional dives in 2022 and 2023

Each dive has a pilot, 3 passengers and a guide. Once these people were inside the sub, the hatch would be locked and could only be opened again from the outside. The descent from the surface to the Titanic usually takes two hours, with a full dive taking around 8 hours. Throughout the voyage, the submarine is expected to emit an acoustic sound every 15 minutes to be monitored by the crew on the surface. Ships and surface crews can also communicate via text messages via acoustic sound

Accident incident

The Titan submarine incident 2023 was the missing Titan submarine operated by OceanGate in international waters in the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 400 nautical miles (740 km) off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada on June 18, 2023. The submarine, carrying 5 people, was part of a sightseeing expedition to observe the wreckage of the Titanic. Communication with Titan was lost 1.45 hours after diving into the Titanic wreck. The submarine failed to reappear at the scheduled time that day

After a thorough search that lasted nearly 80 hours, a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) located the wreckage of the Titan submarine, some 488 meters (1,601 feet) from the Titanic's bow. This finding was based on US Navy sonar launches later that day, which indicated that the inner hull had exploded shortly after the Titan began its descent, resulting in the death of all aboard.

Prior to the incident, concerns had been raised about the ship's safety. However, OceanGate executives have refused to seek Titan certification, arguing that excessive security protocols hinder innovation. The search and recovery operation was conducted by an international team led by the United States Coast Guard, United States Navy and Canadian Coast Guard. Support was provided by aircraft from the Royal Canadian Air Force and Air National Guard, Royal Canadian Navy ships, as well as several commercial and research vessels and ROV

    @SomeSPGuyWhoLikesLore I really didn't put explosives in, it's useless because the bomb won't work if you dive too deep
