It's a conundrum alright. Take the 1888 ship 'SS Boston', a freighter for the first part of her life, before taking Powdered meat sauce/stock to America. Now would you call her a freighter, or a gravy boat?
A liner is a ship that always trades the same route (the lines on a navigational chart) whether it carries human or other cargo and that was the intended purpose of the Titanic, to carry passengers between the UK and USA.
RMS was a term for vessels that delivered mail.
The Titanic was a luxury purpose built trans-atlantic passenger liner which incidentally carried mail.
So it's SS Titanic to me.
And on the bright side...at least it failed on its maiden voyage and not the day after its guarantee ran out like everything does nowadays.
Masabumi Hosono survived the Titanic, but not the public's scorn.
Coast Guard search capabilities limited to 'sounds'
The missing submarine was designed with a 96 hour "emergency capability," Rear Adm. John Mauger tells media.
That means the vessel has 96 hours of oxygen in reserve if there is an emergency.
"We anticipate there is somewhere between 70 and the full 96 hours available at this point," Mauger says.
Titan ‘instantaneous implosion’ occurred in the North Atlantic on a MOONLESS NIGHT.

An ROV from the vessel Horizon Arctic first discovered the tail cone of the Titan submersible.
