There, they connected two ends of a 4,000 kilometer long, 1.5 centimeter wide cable, linking for the first time the European and North American continents by telegraph.
Just over two weeks later, the UK's Queen Victoria sent a congratulatory message to then US President James Buchanan, which was followed by a parade through the streets of New York, featuring a replica of a ship which helped lay the cable and fireworks over City Hall.
Submarines a centerpiece of Russia's navy 01:57Submarine spying Tapping underwater cables is not a new thing. During the Cold War, US submarines transported divers with specially designed equipment that they attached to Soviet cables in the Sea of Okhotsk to intercept all communications.

This was the concern when Chinese telecoms giant Huawei -- which has faced intense pressure from Washington and its allies over surveillance fears -- began moving into the undersea cable market.In 2017, Australia blocked a plan for Huawei to install a 4,000 kilometer undersea cable linking Sydney with the Solomon Islands.
90% is satellites these days. Underwater cable is kinda experiment.
And at least the top 10 world powers have means to immediately destroy the enemy’s cables in a war.
Besides, the majority of the telecomm is done via satellites.
Then let's keep that way! Why must CNN bring attention where attention where attention needs not be? Why make this a target? CNN your ratings suck because of all your 24/7 365 bashing of the POTUS! Now you are looking to start trouble!
But they exist, and the enemies take the information through them.
