Well, I'm going with OED - you can take your NOAA definition and stick it - they're a bunch of tedious beardy ws anyway.
Besides, if you're querying the ability of a submersible to cope with floating debris, why would you be concerned to distinguish as to whether it ended up in the water deliberately or inadvertently? - or is this bat-sub supposed to generate autonomous salvage claims as well?
So you're taking your brief oed definition, as defined by English language experts, over my in depth definition and explanation provided by a government agency dedicated to studying the sea? Well ok. The definition I provided is the legal definition covered by maritime law though.Besides, if you're querying the ability of a submersible to cope with floating debris, why would you be concerned to distinguish as to whether it ended up in the water deliberately or inadvertently? - or is this bat-sub supposed to generate autonomous salvage claims as well?
And I wasn't the one querying the ability of the submersible to cope with floating debris, I was saying it didn't need to be on the beach to hit jetsam.

FTFY. Anyway, thinking about it, you're not actually Super Sonic yourself are you? - in that you exceed 344 m/sec in air at 1013.25 hPa and 20C ambient? Like buffalo you do..
So, there we have it. How can we trust *anything* written by someone whose basic identity is a fiction?
