To answer your question: the damage was most likely caused by the intentional dragging of the ship's anchor over the location of the cable (a majority of inadvertent damage to submerged cables globally is caused by ship anchors). But of course you once traveled on a ship so are an expert on all things nautical so I am sure you knew this already.
Thank you Captain, yes the last cable-cutting coverage explained it to me. Clearly I am only an expert on some things nautical. Next question: doesn’t anchor-dragging also damage the ship? Can’t imagine the engine room would be ecstatic about it.
