Question

Context: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65953872

The above titanic submersible that went missing can only send short text messages from the ship to the submersible. From my understanding there is no GPS underwater and radio communication is impossible. How can Navy submarines communicate and navigate while submerged in the ocean but the missing submersible can’t?

Unfortunately it boils down to the same answer that put the Titanic down there in the first place. Greed and greed alone . The white star line cut cost by skirting the safety Issues so that the beauty of the ship would not have to be compromised. Whatever company that submarine belongs to did the same thing so they could make a dollar.
