Read this excerpt from Exploring the Titanic,
Alvin could only dive to 6,000 feet. Since the average depth of the deep ocean is about 12,000 feet, the Navy decided to
give it a new hull of titanium alloy, a very strong metal that could hold up to huge underwater pressures and allow us to
dive to 13,000 feet. By chance, this refitting project was called Project Titanus,
Titanium, Titanus, Titanic - that started me thinking, The Titanic was thought to lie at a depth of just over 12,000 feet.
Based on the excerpt, why does the author include the name of the refitting project?

The author in the given excerpt, uses his own experience and then uses pathos and understanding to tell the story of Titanic. While he explains how much Alvin could dive and he gave the details of the ocean depth, he mentions the name of the refitting project so that he can connect Alvin with the his search for the Titanic.

It is shown throughout the story that he was quite driven to discover Titanic. That's why at the end he also indicated the importance of the discovery he made.
