My wife asked me a question that I didn’t have the answer.......
Isn’t the Titanic sub equipped with a failsafe “pinging mechanism” that would send out a strong signal for potential rescuers to triangulate, lock on to, and quickly locate should any emergency issue arise.
It had no beacon. 🙄
No safety devices, would have cut into profit. Plus, bet their young team didn’t consider safety important. Heck, they used a wireless controller. Did they bring fresh batteries?
On another thread someone pointed out that the mini-sub goes to great depths. So any beacon would require a huge (and heavy) battery to send out a signal strong enough to be detected. Hence, no beacon.
I don’t know how true that is. But it makes sense.
like an airplane carries?
