OceanGate claimed that Titan was the only crewed submersible that used RTM, "an integrated real-time health monitoring system". [49] The proprietary system, patented by Rush, [50] employed acoustic sensors and strain gauges at the pressure boundary to analyse the effects of increasing pressure as the watercraft ventured deeper into the ocean and to monitor the hull's integrity in real time. This supposedly would function to give early warning of problems and allow enough time to abort the descent and return to the surface. [49] [51] Prior concerns On 30 June, Insider published an analysis of the recovery photos by Plymouth University professor Jasper Graham-Jones. He concluded that a failure of the carbon-fibre hull was the most likely cause of the loss, given that no large pieces of carbon fibre are known to have been recovered. Another possible cause was the acrylic viewing window. He noted that the window was absent from its bell housing when it was recovered. While the salvage team may have removed the window before salvaging its bell housing, they more likely would have left it in place. However, Graham-Jones said that if the window had failed before the hull rather than after, he would have expected larger pieces of carbon fibre to be recovered. [136]

Formerly known as Cyclops 2, [12] Titan was a five-person submersible vessel operated by OceanGate Inc. The 6.7-metre-long (22ft), 10,432kg (23,000lb) vessel was constructed from carbon fibre and titanium. [13] The entire pressure vessel consisted of two titanium hemispheres with matching titanium interface rings bonded to the 142cm (56in) internal diameter, 2.4-metre-long (7.9ft) carbon fibre-wound cylinder. [14] One of the titanium hemispherical end caps could be detached to provide the hatch [5] and was fitted with a 380mm-diameter (15in) acrylic window. [15] In 2020, Rush said that the hull, originally designed to reach 4,000m (13,000ft) below sea level, [16] had been downgraded to a depth rating of 3,000m (9,800ft) after demonstrating signs of cyclic fatigue. In 2020 and 2021, the hull was repaired or rebuilt. [17] Rush told the Travel Weekly editor-in-chief that the carbon fibre had been sourced at a discount from Boeing because it was too old for use in the company's airplanes. [18] Boeing stated they have no records of any sale to Rush or to OceanGate. [19] OceanGate had initially not sought certification for Titan, arguing that excessive safety protocols hindered innovation. [4] Lloyd's Register, a ship classification society, declined OceanGate's request to class the vessel in 2019. [20] A modified Logitech F710 wireless game controller was used to steer Titan. The 2005 model only had one complaint of a leaking radiator. However, it still had the same issues with the differential and several complaints about the electrical system and air conditioning. The 2006 model had far fewer issues but still had multiple reports of the broken rear axle.

These problems went down consistently in each of the first four years, but we wouldn’t recommend buying any of the first three models before 2007. The 2008 model also misses out on a gold star due to some issues with the transmission and suspension. Caldwell, Richard, Hesiod's Theogony, Focus Publishing/R. Pullins Company (1987).

[169] The Titans play a key role in an important part of Greek mythology, the succession myth. [41] It told how the Titan Cronus, the youngest of the Titans, overthrew Uranus, and how in turn Zeus, by waging and winning a great ten-year war pitting the new gods against the old gods, called the Titanomachy ("Titan war"), overthrew Cronus and his fellow Titans, and was eventually established as the final and permanent ruler of the cosmos.

According to OceanGate, the vessel contained monitoring systems to continuously monitor the strength of the hull. [13] The vessel had life support for five people for 96 hours. [13] There is no GPS underwater; the support ship, which monitored the position of Titan relative to its target, sent text messages to Titan providing distances and directions.

OceanGate was also concerned that the classing process could slow down development and act as a drag on innovation. “Bringing an outside entity up to speed on every innovation before it is put into real-world testing is anathema to rapid innovation,” it said.

Jane Ellen Harrison asserts that the word "Titan" comes from the Greek τίτανος, signifying white "earth, clay, or gypsum," and that the Titans were "white clay men", or men covered by white clay or gypsum dust in their rituals.
