The USCG believes that the carbon fibre layers of the hull started to break apart during a dive to the Titanic, which took place a year before the disaster - the 80th dive that Titan had made.
Passengers on board reported hearing a loud bang as the sub made its way back to the surface. They said that at the time Mr Rush said that this noise was the sub shifting in its frame.
But the USCG says the data collected from sensors fitted to Titan shows that the bang was caused by delamination.
"Delamination at dive 80 was the beginning of the end," said Lieutenant Commander Katie Williams from USCG.
