I don't understand the timeline. It's been reported elsewhere that the tourism company didn't report the submarine's disappearance for eight hours. This article says "The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications."
Did the crew sit there trapped for eight+ hours and then the sub imploded? I thought any hull failure would happen a lot faster than that.
Or is this article confused? It would make sense that the navy is always listening, and deduced what they'd heard after they learned of the disappearance.
Yeah, I thought that was confusing as well. I'd be shocked if the navy wasn't always recording. If the point of the system is defense, I'm sure it's not down to Frank to flip the switch on when they think there's going to be an attack.
Maybe by "listening" they meant reviewing the recorded data around that time?
Just saw what the AP reported:
Seems like a more accurate analysis.
