Thanks, this is NOT the standard Web Mercator projection. I am aware of
EPSG:90013 and EPSG:3857. This projection is used with HYCOM data that I
have extracted into geotif files so that I can accurately project that
onto EPSG:3857. It took some fiddling with the values to get to overlay
visually correctly. HYCOM data is weird in that it uses two different
projections based on if the data is above or below some latitude.

If what you need is really EPSG:3857, yes, use it.
However I have seen strange parameters on your projection. The radius
of the sphere is the "average" 3671 km, and you set a false easting
and northing of just 4.4 km. Is that trying to correct the radius of
the sphere? I do not know why you need that.
Bas, are they really equivalent?
In proj you can convert to WKT1 (see that I added +type=crs):
projinfo "+proj=merc +a=6371001 +b=6371001 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0
+x_0=-4448 +y_0=-4448 +k=1.0 +units=m +over +nadgrids=@null +no_defs
+type=crs" -o wkt1_gdal
Ok I get this adding by +type=crs but how do I add it to the proj
database so I can access it referencing it by something like EPSG:90014?
Thanks,

I used to do that too, but switched to EPSG:3857 its non-deprecated
equivalent. I would recommend that instead of trying to keep using a
non-standard projection.
Kind Regards,
