If there exist submarine internet cables all over the world to speed up international communication, why aren't there submarine rail freight transport to speed up international merchandise shipping?
Submarine cables: top photo is for intercontinental communication and bottom photo is to detect earthquakes. The thought of these being in the oceans freaks me out.
TIL that modern military submarines have a rescue buoy that releases during an emergency, and it remains attached to the submarine by a cable. Once on the surface it can indicate to rescuers the position of the submarine, and may include a telephone for communication with the trapped submariners. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Res…
TIL that in the 1960's, for fear of having their submarine communication cables cut by the Soviets, the US military sent 480,000,000 copper needles into space to secure their communications infrastructure. The needles acted as a mirror for radio waves, enabling communication between distant sites. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro…
TIL: Submarine networking is the process by which data is carried on subsea cables to connect continents. Submarine networks carry 95 percent of the world’s intercontinental electronic communications traffic. ciena.com/insights/how/Ho…
How were did Europe and the Americas communicate before the submarine cables were laid in the 50s?
I was talking to my grandma who said she was part of the submarine cable-laying effort in Venezuela (late 60s). I looked up those in the US and I found 1955 as a date. My mom says that there were calls that were made before then between continents, and my grandma says they were "aerial". I don't even know what that means, radio?
Could someone clarify what means of telecommunications existed before that time between the continents?
TIL that 99% of international data is transmitted by wires at the bottom of the ocean called submarine communications cables visualcapitalist.com/subm…

Turbidity currents in submarine canyons often involve large-scale movement of the seafloor. This discovery could help ocean engineers avoid damage to pipelines, communications cables, and other seafloor structures. nature.com/articles/s4146…
This is how submarine communications cables, the backbone of the internet, are prepared and then laid on the sea bed. youtu.be/0TZwiUwZwIE
[WP] The US Navy has a tradition that no submarine is ever considered lost at sea. Subs that don't return are considered "still on patrol." Every year, sailors manning communications hubs send holiday greetings to those listed as still on patrol. One of the subs, lost since WW2, just responded.
TIL Submarine Communications Cables are cables that have been placed all throughout the ocean floor by special vessels to allow telecommunication between countries overseas. 99 percent of international data is transmitted through these cables which are much more cost effective than satellites en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub…
