Ah you indeed are correct Ral.
As far as the Titanic mission......Ballard intended to search for it BUT had no operating cash. In order to get it he did the Thresher and Scorpion searches and the USN told him if there were funds left he could use them to look for Titanic.
It was serendipitous (and he admits it) that discovering the implosion debris field effect helped him find Titanic.
BTW, other submersible: ALVIN
Good show sir. Post away!
