The U.S. Navy said Sunday that it won't be using a large piece of salvage equipment that it had deployed to the effort to retrieve the Titan submersible.
FILE - This undated image provided by OceanGate Expeditions in June 2021 shows the company's Titan submersible. The wrecks of the Titanic and the Titan sit on the ocean floor, separated by 1,600 feet and 111 years of history. How they came together unfolded over an intense week that raised temporary hopes and left lingering questions.
The Navy would only use the ocean salvage system if there were pieces large enough to require the use of the specialized equipment. On Saturday, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said that it’s begun an investigation into the loss of the submersible and has been speaking with those who traveled on Titan’s mothership, the Polar Prince.
