WSJ: Navy Detected Submarine’s Implosion Days Ago

A top secret U.S. Navy acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard the Titan sub implosion hours after the submersible began its mission, officials involved in the search said. The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official.

Shortly after its disappearance, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the commander on site, U.S. defense officials said.

“The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,” a senior U.S. Navy official told The Wall Street Journal in a statement. The Navy asked that the specific system used not be named, citing national security concerns.

參與搜索的官員表示，美國海軍的一個絕密聲學探測系統，旨在發現敵方潛艇，在泰坦潛艇開始執行任務數小時後，首次聽到泰坦潛艇內爆的聲音。 據美國國防部官員稱，泰坦號潛艇失去通訊後，海軍幾乎立即開始監聽該潛艇的動態。

美國國防部官員稱，在其失踪後不久，美國系統在周四發現的殘骸現場附近檢測到了疑似內爆的聲音，並向現場指揮官報告了發現結果。

一位美國海軍高級官員在一份聲明中告訴《華爾街日報》：“美國海軍對聲學數據進行了分析，發現泰坦潛水器在通訊中斷時作業地點附近出現了與內爆或爆炸相符的異常現象。” 。 海軍以國家安全為由要求不透露所使用的具體系統的名稱。
