Answer the following questions.
Q- Which personal factors support the secret expedition?
The personal factors that support the secret expedition include Robert Ballard’s lifelong dream of finding the Titanic, his expertise in ocean exploration and technology development (due to his work with the Navy and NOAA), and his determination to make significant discoveries despite obstacles.
Q- “The Navy just wanted our expedition to deflect’. Elaborate.
“The Navy just wanted our expedition to deflect” suggests that while Ballard’s primary goal was to find the Titanic, the Navy had ulterior motives. They used the cover of searching for the Titanic to conceal their true mission, which was locating the lost nuclear submarines USS Scorpion and USS Thresher. This diversion allowed them to keep their objectives secret due to the sensitive nature of Cold War-era military operations.
