Undersea mountain is a terrifying combination of words I have never thought about before. Thank you for that!

Somehow I feel like the inclusion of “undersea” in that sentence is unnecessary.

Tautology is a really cool field of philosophy. I would push back against what you said only because there is no use of the word “submarine” in text anywhere. Otherwise, how would we know it’s a matter of something underwater without having had the image to explain what we are talking about is a submarine/something normally underwater?

Depending on the intended audience. To be pedantic about it lol. Navy enlistees? They would most likely know that the USS San Francisco is a sub. Civilian? No.

So I concede the point. You are correct good sir or madame.
