All human remains not protected deep inside the wreck are gone, including skeletons. Some clothing and possessions remain.

They also weren't trying to find it, they know exactly where it is. They wanted someone to survey the wreck to evaluate its condition.

More like they told him "Look over about here at coordinates XYZ and you'll see something very interesting".

They've been monitored continuously since they sank by the US Navy.

If you want to identify what you're looking at, a deck plan is helpful.
Here's an easy to access set: http://ssmaritime.com/Titanic-3.htm
There are also full size plans available. You can buy some here: https://www.titanicdeckplan.com/shop
Or you can view deck plans online with an ID on Encyclopedia Titanica:
https://www.encyclopedia-titanica.org/titanic-deckplans/
Having watched the footage, I think a lot of it is right near the bow - that's where Alvin was sitting while they were running Jason Jr.
I was able to identify a winch, capstans, anchor chains, etc on the B deck in the video.

Have you got a source that confirms the wreckage of two seperate weapons was found? When you say two different guns do you mean independent artillery pieces or just different barrels?

This is inaccurate. The Titanic expedition was always planned - it was the ostensible reason for Ballard to be out there. The Titanic portion was a joint WHOI/IFREMER expedition, and the French ship was searching for Titanic while Ballard was searching for the Cold War nuclear submarine Scorpion. Ballard arrived at Titanic search grid in time to take over from the IFREMER team.

I can already see the Tale of Genji, where their walls are decorated with lacquered phalluses.

Lacquered properly it shouldn’t be too bad on that front.

At least two, because there were two different guns destroyed and their wreckage found. A test model was built, but wasn't used in the war, as far as I know.

HW Brands has been churning out a book almost annually while authors of the Oxford History of the United States take years to complete an entry. What is Brands next topic after Geronimo?
