You drag a grappling hook over the sea bed, and when it catches on something you haul it up and see if you caught what you were looking for. Of course with modern GPS navigation, it's a lot easier to know exactly where you are when doing this than it used to be. There are specialized ships used only for retrieving and repairing damaged cables rather than laying new ones, since the repair ship doesn't need to carry a long cable on board and therefore can be smaller and more manoeuverable. | |
