Navies looking for Atlantis

Bubba, it seems to me that you have become (or are becoming) a follower of the loony theories of John Mitchell (The View Over Atlantis, The New View Over Atlantis, The Dimensions of Paradise).

Nah, never heard of that.

I dont know about Atlantis but I'd not be surprised if the navy has sent their super subs looking for it as training exercises.

Who would be surprised if any one or more of the world's navies has sent their subs (and surface ships) looking for Atlantis, if only tasked as for training purposes?

Even though Atlantis is nothing more than a myth, mind you.

Well, I've sure heard of Air Force mechanics being sent on missions to find left handed monkey wrenches...
 
I know where Atlantis is.

In fact, everyone should know where Atlantis is since one just has to ask The Man from Atlantis.

I would be extremely surprised. Submarines are terrible at surveying terrain features. They rely on detailed and accurate maps generated by other ships to avoid running into stuff.

And naval surface ships are not equipped to do that kind of surveying either, for obvious reasons.

And there's no reason to send actual real life hydrographic survey ships (which are generally not part of the navy anyway) to search for Atlantis, for training or otherwise. All you have to do is tell them "survey everything". The ships are just collecting data. That blip could be a rock spire, an Atlantean tower, or a sensor anomaly. The ship doesn't know or care. It's up to the analysts ashore, weeks or months or years later, to collate the data and turn it into information.

A more realistic question might be, if any one or more of the world's oceanographic survey societies has given its analysts a stack of un-analyzed data and told them "look for Atlantis".

But even that would be a stupid question. Instead of getting solid analysis, you'd get a lot of false positives and wasted effort. Better to give the analysts a pile of un-analyzed data, and tell them "map it all". Then look at the maps and see what they tell you.

So the best question, the real question, is why haven't you looked at the hydrographic survey maps and tried to find Atlantis?

Well said - if anybody was going to be called out, it would be the "Droggies"
 
Well, the RN has five Hydrographic Survey Ships and the United Kingdom Hydrographic Office that produces Admiralty Charts is part of the Ministry of Defence. At the moment the largest of them HMS Scott is busy doing deep water surveys in the mid Atlantic so ....

Are you trying to tell us something?
 
I couldn't possibly comment on the nature of the work being done by the derp water survey ship HMS Scott on behalf of the Ministry
 
Since the entire evidence for the existence of Altlantis is a couple of paragraphs in a story by Plato about what someone told him, one might just as well believe in the existence of Narnia. The US government should hire lots of civil servants to tap on the back of wardrobes. :rolleyes:
 
I was afraid you'd never ask.

Bubba what does this have to do with a conspiracy?

Someone moved it to conspiracies. Ask them.

Are you calling for a full investigation?

Or are you merely pointing out how a revealing study could be made about the mindsets behind actions like knee jerk thread moving, and how such mindsets link to bigotry in the greater population of so called modern society?

Comparisons could then be drawn to certain mindsets in pre-war Germany, and to "The Red Scare" of 1950s America (before one of the last real journalists exposed that).


A little Bernays Sauce can go a long long way.

I would agree if it were not for:

"I'd not be surprised if the navy has sent their super subs looking for it as training exercises."
--from the OP

Specially designed subs have been known to be equipped with stuff ordinary subs dont have.


And naval surface ships are not equipped to do that kind of surveying either, for obvious reasons.

But....Cameras, photos, video. Llike in 1980s national geographic pages. Never mind specially equipped classified super subs today. Subs can carry video camera bearing ROVs.

Atlantis is nothing more than a myth, (as I said in the OP)
