A retired rear admiral has said there is a ‘vanishingly small’ chance of finding the missing Titanic submarine. His comments were made on LBC as the US Coastguard said it had detected noises in the search area.
However Chris Parry, a retired navy rear admiral from the UK, said without an “emitting signal” from the missing deep-sea vessel near the wreck site of the Titanic it will be “impossible” to find in the timescale.
And he blasted the ‘fundamentally dangerous’ decision to go so far down in the Atlantic Ocean in what he described as a ‘dodgy piece of technology’. The former Director General of Development, Concepts and Doctrine at the Ministry of Defence told LBC: “I’m afraid the odds are vanishingly small. Obviously, we want to remain hopeful and optimistic but there are two problems here – one is actually finding the thing and secondly is how on earth are you going to get it off the seabed. It’s never been done before and I don’t think anybody’s got any ideas about how to do it at the moment.”
