I'm not sure if this is meant to contradict my comment somehow, but I think we are saying the same thing -- read differently, it sounds like you might be suggesting they don't even need the new data. Whether on VMS, or notice to mariners, or whatever, what they had was a report of discolored water. Different, therefore from new data revealing underwater topography. Removed redundant and pedantically incorrect extra use of word "new".

It's, "new data revealing 'actual/correct' underwater topography". Not, "new data revealing 'new' underwater topography." Sorry if that sounds pedantic, but it's an important distinction imo, these 'underwater mountains' didn't come into existence recently.

  Obviously, but I edited my comment. My inner pedant jumps for joy.

It can also be referred to as bathymetry rather than underwater topography.
