Titan, tidligere kaldet Cyclops 2, var en eksperimentel undervandsbåd, der imploderede den 18. juni 2023, mens den transporterede turister for at besøge vraget af RMS Titanic.

Undervandsfartøjet blev skabt og drevet af OceanGate. Titan var den første privatejede undervandsbåd med en påstået maksimal dybde på 4.000 m,^[1] og den første færdige bemandede undervandsbåd med et skrog konstrueret af titanium- og kulfiberkompositmaterialer.^[2]^[3]

The ability of carbon fibers to withstand repeated cycles of stress, especially compressive stress, under deep-sea pressures is not well understood, making it difficult to design safe hulls based on carbon fibers. The degrading effects of water absorption on the epoxy binding the carbon fibers in the composite should also be kept in mind in assessing the failure of Titan..."
