What's the technical term for this type of gravity detector? Do you mean a gravity gradiometer? It seems hard to steer a modern pigheaded search engine away from LIGO when you search for "gravity detector".

Gradiometer as here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sci...

We'd have difficulty in fitting LIGO in a sub methinks and seamounts are static and thus no G waves. You're right though, I should have been more specific, perhaps a more understandable description would be a mass detector or sensor.

I reckon the reason we don't hear much about this subject and the reason it's likely classified is that's its primary purpose would be the detection of other subs, detecting seamounts a secondary benefit.

Interesting, thanks. It didn't occur to me before that there might be classified work on gravity detectors.
