We may have buildings or buses in the channels of the harbors

I'd bet on it. And a whole lot worse.

#2 Info on the USNS John McDonnell and USNS Mary Sears.

Also, links on their actual namesakes:
John McDonnell -- Can't find THE John McDonnell--too many matches and none definite
Mary Sears

#8 4000' vertical shift in sea floor? Seems highly unlikely. I don't think rock is capable of storing enough energy to lift that much mass that fast - I'd be surprised at 100' of vertical lift. Perhaps a few hundred feet of lateral shift moved a shoal into a GPS location that used to be deep, but even there 4000' would represent a Grand Canyon type topography on the sea floor. Maybe there's some submerged debris drifting around being seen by sonar as shallow water?
