Part 5/14:
- Water Incursion and Storage of the Submarine: The events leading up to failure included storage conditions—improperly stored in cold, water-saturated environments—which could have exacerbated existing structural weaknesses.
Acoustic Monitoring and Strain Data
Significant acoustic signatures and strain gauge data captured during dives reveal a loud bang—a "gunshot-like" sound—during a 2023 dive to the Titanic. This event coincided with a sudden change in the vessel's strain patterns, suggesting a hull breach or core failure.
