Do we need to get James Cameron and associates to design a DitchWitch that can operate at 2 miles down? How deep can ship anchors go?

  They already use such a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_layer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_layer > Cable ships also use “plows” that are suspended under the vessel. These plows use jets of high-pressure water to bury cable three feet (0.91 m) under the sea floor, which prevents fishing vessels from snagging cables as thrall their nets.

    So when did they start using these and why are we still having issues?

      We still have issues for the same reasons buried power, water, gas etc. lines still do. It isn’t a perfect fix.
