That is a route an aircraft carrier could go if you wanted to get to the IO, Red Sea, or Persian Gulf, if you wanted to avoid the Suez Canal or South China Sea route.
What was the drone checking? I kind of doubt it was mapping the sea floor. Salinity and temperature for submarine warfare purposes? So they know where to safely out a sub in wait for a carrier in case war breaks out?
Wellington had been to Waterloo before the Battle of Waterloo.
Patton around the time of WW1 reconnoitred Normandy, in case of the next war.
