from wiki ....ultra-low frequency and extremely powerful underwater sound detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997. The source of the sound remains unknown
They discover that the yrr are single-cell organisms that operate in groups (or swarms, hence the novel's title), controlled by a single hive-mind that may have existed for hundreds of millions of years. The yrr form a collective intelligence and have inheritable memories that are passed on by manipulating parts of their DNA. Individual yrr recognize each other by using a specific pheromone.

As a Naval Sonar Technician, I would love to comment on this thread (you have no idea how much I want to comment), but I don't want anyone knocking on my door.

She is noteworthy as a U.S. Navy vessel that has apparently been attacked by an unknown species of giant squid. In 1978, the "NOFOUL" rubber coating of her AN/SQS-26 SONAR dome was damaged by multiple cuts over 8 percent of the dome surface. Nearly all of the cuts contained remnants of sharp, curved claws found on the rims of suction cups of some squid tentacles. The claws were much larger than those of any squid that had been discovered at that time.

Not at all. I just don't want to go to prison. I'd love to tell you all everything I know, but I can't. It sucks, believe me.

There have been a lot of stories about stuff underwater, and I've bit my tongue with all of them. This one, being biological in nature, was a cool one. I will share this, since it's in the public domain. Google the USS Stein (FF-1065). Now, do your own math.
What was really fun was listening to the sounds while at sea, and hearing what's all around you. One thing, I now live in Colorado. Far, far, far from any ocean.
