A Navy system detected what is believed to have been the implosion of the Titan submersible lost touring the Titanic.
That system, a naval expert said, is likely the undersea hydrophones of the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System.
That system, which was initially just the Sound Surveillance System, has been listening for enemy submarine activity for decades.
This system, first constructed in the early 1950s, is called the Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS).
Clark said the reporting indicated that the SOSUS hydrophones are likely what detected the final moments of the Titan submersible.
