Protecting seaQuest's seafloor colonies

How would the panel run the seaQuest mission?

The practical proposal is to use several submarines and extensive hydrophone coverage instead of relying on one vessel.

The premise is explained as protecting newly established colonies on the seabed. Some participants are unfamiliar with the programme and question the risks of such settlements. Multiple submarines could cover more of this dispersed seafloor infrastructure. Numerous hydrophones would provide the persistent detection coverage that a small number of mobile vessels cannot supply alone. The exchange does not develop a full force plan.
