After analyzing the sound, the Navy determined it was consistent with either an implosion or explosion, and was able to triangulate its location to area where the sub had lost communications. The Navy immediately passed its findings on to the Coast Guard, according to the official.The official said the sound, while consistent with an implosion, was not taken as proof the Titan was destroyed, which is why rescue efforts continued until its debris was found Thursday morning.
The defense official said the choice of whether to publicly acknowledge the apparent implosion or explosion discovered by the Navy on Sunday belonged to the Coast Guard. It is not clear exactly when the families were informed, or why the Coast Guard chose not to inform the public of the apparent implosion, even as it acknowledged later banging sounds were detected that gave some hope that a rescue was still possible.
