While the Titan search operation is funded by money already in the federal budget, the U.S. military will assume some unexpected costs, Cancian said, because personnel and equipment were used in an unforeseen way that can spur, for instance, additional expense or maintenance and parts.Mikki Hastings, president of the National Association for Search and Rescue, said the total cost picture is unclear because the operation has not yet ended.
The Coast Guard dispatched one of its cutters, the Sycamore, this week, but it was still on its way to the search site Thursday when the Titan’s fate was revealed. The Coast Guard does not disclose As of Friday, it was still unknown if the Navy would launch a deep-sea salvage effort. It dispatched a specialized winch capable of recovering small vessels and aircraft from the seabed. The Navy has not disclosed how much such operations cost. In 2021 the Navyoff the coast of Okinawa from depths greater than three and a half miles. The process took a day once salvage specialists arrived with the same winch system.
