Administrative / biographical background
In 1982, Doctor Robert Ballard approached the Navy about his new deep sea underwater robot craft, Argo - and his search for Titanic. The Navy wasn’t interested in financing a search for the lost ocean liner, but they were interested in finding two of their missing submarines - USS Thresher & USS Scorpion. They agreed they would finance Ballard's Titanic search only if he first searched for & investigated the two sunken submarines. 1982 was also the 70th Anniversary of the sinking.
