Underwater microphones designed to detect enemy submarines first detected Titan tragedy.

I suppose there was some discussion on whether to conceal or reveal the tech and that’s why we’ve only heard of this now.

A military training exercise would be much smaller in scope, coordinated to manage costs, and done at a time that was convenient. It also wouldn't include private vessels.

There were private vessels and ROVs involved. The debris field was found by the Horizon Arctic, a private vessel that services oil rig deep sea anchors. Who is paying that private ship? We are. They certainly wouldn't be part of a training exercise.
