That and they don't truly know whats down there below the keel, it may be muddy or rocky either way you don't want to sit a $1bn worth of kit on that. On the rocks it would rip an already stressed and compressed hull apart, and on mud it would act like a suction cup holding the boat on the bottom. Quote:
If a boat was on the bottom you would likely hear the metallic scraping of metal against rock (worrying) or the disturbance caused by a large stationary object against a current flow. However this is one for the sonar bouys here (see what i did there) they will be able to clear that up ET3R is a good chap and good source for that its his field. Quote:
