Playing SH4 v1.5 (Steam versions) with OTC for TMO & RSRD mods.

I frequently traveled along the northeast coastline of New Guinea but this is the first time I noticed an underwater rock formation that's flat along its top and quite shallow, (maybe) 20 yards below the surface; it measures 200 yards wide along the entire distance of 65nm with only 1 sizable gap of 5.3nm about mid way. It looks man-made, not natural. Beware, if one were to run into it, I suspect it would do quite a bit of damage. I was curious but I didn't try to hit it.

This rock wall is only visible at fairly high magnification. Located approximately 39nm North, Northeast of Hollandia, New Guinea, it runs straight below the 2-degree South line (that helps to hide it) beginning at 141-degrees East to 142-degrees East, a distance of 65nm.

Has anyone else seen this?
