Nah it’s a subsurface debris field. Nothing is floating up from down there.

Just FYI, as what would be considered in this context a “skimmer,” I hear “debris field” and think floating.

No, they mean debris on the sea floor

Its the most common ways to discover where a ship has sunk is to trace the debris field.

Doesn't matter what the ink is when you fold the page up and put it away because regulations hold back innovation.

A field grade Army officer I know made a post on facebook complaining about people "rejoicing" about the deaths of rich people in that sub and I was pleasantly surprised that not a single response agreed with him. Just relentless dunking on billionaires. Maybe there is some small hope for this country yet.

The debris was found like 1600 feet from the Titanic, they probably either popped on the way down or shortly after reaching the Titanic.

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

Blind Rasputin posted:

I watched a video recommendation today about the US nuclear sub Thresher in the 1960s that imploded below crush depth. And they found its general location by way of an oil slick on the surface and a radiation glove (like the ones used around US Navy nuclear reactors) floating around, as well as some cork bits from the inner hull wall.

My brain could not comprehend an entire nuclear submarine completely imploding into dust in 1/20th of a second. Holy poo poo.

I guess one dumb question I have is when a sun goes below its max depth why do the pipes on board burst and leak? I can understand hull rivets, I guess, from the hull warping and such. But the pipes have never made any sense to me. Is it because they have some connection to the water outside?

Are you asking about the pipe that's theorized to have burst, dooming the ship?

For that pipe specifically, it was a normally sea-connected system, and during the investigation the Navy did a ton of inspections on other Permit class boats, and found that the silver brazing method used to join their nickel-copper pipes together was defective on many of the joints they found. So the theory is the pipe let go well before its rated pressure, taking the reactor down with it. She just left a major overhaul in the yards, and that joint was new, and hadn't been thoroughly tested.

In the aftermath when the Navy developed the SUBSAFE program, those braze joints were replaced with all-welded piping systems, and all piping systems normally open at depth were required to have multiple redundant valves to shut off the flow of water in an emergency, ensuring that the hull was the week point. Also added a ton of paperwork, pressure testing and NDT to ensure the integrity of those piping systems.

Also the Thresher wouldn't have had any rivets in her hull, it'd be all welded construction. Modern attack submarines are incredibly resilient things, built like brick shithouses, we haven't lost one since Scorpion, and we've crashed a few into ships, and two in to mountains at speed and depth, I was on one of those.

Anyway, happy for those billionaires that they apparently got imploded instead of living through the horror of slowly suffocating while trapped in debris on the ocean floor, that's a way better way to go out.

Oh no, those ROVs have some crazy high end cameras now, not to mention having stuff like Side Scanning Sonar and High Resolution Sonar.

Trust me, they can really well.
