Mystery is always become a part of underwater archeology field’s research.  So, when the oceanographic expert, Robert Ballard, look for Titanic in 1985, there is no reason for suspecting his investigation, just aim for science.  Now days, Ballard acknowledges that the searching of Titanic which drowned in a tragic accident is actually a shield for secret mission of US Navy when checking out the nuclear submarine body from cold war era.

Both of that submarine nuclear, USS Thresher and USS Scorpion, drowned in Atlantic at the sixties decade.  Thresher drowned when dives training at 1963 in 5,500 feet depth, with 117 crews and 17 not military engineers.  Seem, that ship drowned because the pipes leak or the patrian overflow in the engine room that make the engine failed to work.

Five years later, USS Scorpion drowned mysteriously at the sea in 10,000 feet depth and lost for several months before the body was founded.  US Navy suspect a torpedo accidentally make that ship drowned and killing all crews (99 crews), but the actual reason can’t be sure yet.

After mapping and checking the Thresher and Scorpion body, Ballard only has 12 days on the contract to look for a Titanic.  The analyze of the undersea waste track during his investigation of submarine nuclear make possible to Ballard to use that technique to find the location of Titanic.
