EP 55: Stealing Russian Subs

from Around the Buoy Hosted by East Passage Boatwrights

Submarines are the silent counterweight in the balance of power. With nuclear weapons and classified materials on board, their secrets would be devastating to a country's national security if they were ever lost. So, in 1968 when a soviet sub disappeared in the Pacific, the CIA recognized the opportunity for an unprecedented intelligence grab. Josh Dean is the author of "The Taking of K-129", the most comprehensive account of the CIA's covert mission to raise the K-129. Josh joins us in this episode talk about one hell of a sea story.
