UCT-2 inspected near-shore HDAS cables at Diego Garcia
February–early March 2014 · 110 ft of water · zinc anodes
Confirmed Seabee deployment. Construction Diving Detachment Charlie spent February and early March at NSF Diego Garcia on fleet moorings and Hydro-acoustic Data Acquisition System cables. Final task: inspect and repair two HDAS cables north of the lagoon in about 110 feet of seawater. That is not the 189 km / 1.5 km-deep HA08 North trunk.

US military presence in theatre, 7–9 March 2014
Public-source board · confirmed search assets vs records still needed

Working chart of publicly documented US assets around MH370: USS Pinckney already in the South China Sea and diverted to search on 8 March; a Kadena P-3C announced the same day; USS Kidd joined. Guam RQ-4, Diego Garcia sensors, EP-3E, RC-135 and exact 7–9 March sortie lists remain open. Presence is not the same as tracking 9M-MRO.
USS Kidd (DDG 100) joins the surface search
Also diverted from South China Sea training
Confirmed later in the search: Kidd and Pinckney had both been training in the South China Sea. Kidd took the southwestern Gulf of Thailand sector; Pinckney the northeast. Pre-search tracks remain unpublished.

Quiet Exodus: HA08 was blinded on purpose — not established
Outage confirmed · deliberate cut not shown · depths argue against UCT-2
The thesis treats the March 2014 HA08 North cable fault plus UCT-2’s presence as an acoustic blackout for MH370. The outage is real. The published UCT-2 task is near-shore anode work. HA08 South and HA01 kept listening. Deliberate blinding remains a hypothesis.
