I number of years ago, I found an interesting article on Wired.com on how FLAG (The cable that got severed) was built.

It is Loooog (56 pages), but a good read, and full of interesting anecdotes so if you have a few hours I encourage you to read it, or do like I do and read in in installments while you are waiting for stuff to compile or the like.
