The US Navy detected sounds "consistent with an implosion" shortly after OceanGate's Titan submersible lost contact, a navy official has said.
Five people were aboard the vessel when it went missing during a dive to the Titanic wreck on Sunday.
The loss of the vessel was confirmed on Thursday after a huge search mission.
The official told CBS News their information about the "acoustic anomaly" had been used by the US Coast Guard to narrow the search area.
