Disclaimer: I'm a Santorini advocate for the location of Atlantis. And I've never been in the Navy, but I once worked for a seismic data brokerage company here in Houston and what the tracks look like to me (especially considering the scale) are the result of a seismic exploration survey. The way they work is that the ships tow long lines of detecters behind the ship while noisemakers - usually either explosives or compressed air "bubblers" - which are bounced off of the sea floor to create seismic waves which are picked up by the detecters. After each run (let's say from east to west), the ship reels in the detecter array, makes a large turn, deploys the array and heads in the opposite direction. After completing the east-west runs, the ship completes the 90 degree grid by running north to south. This gives enough information to make a computerized 3D image of the subsurface geology. Then, if a certain area warrants more investigation, the ship makes a more detailed examination of the area in question. But there are indeed anomalies off shore from the Bahamas to Japan to India to the eastern Med and the Black Sea which need more investigation. And has anyone used Google Earth to take a look at Mt Atarat?
