  • The Cold War was a deadly game in the depths of the oceans. More than 20 collisions between American and Soviet submarines are only the tip of the iceberg as far as these secret operations are concerned. The underwater interface was perhaps the most merciless frontier between East and West. This documentary reveals previously unknown information from the military apparatus of both sides, and shows that submarines continue to be an important weapon in the espionage war even today.

    I served 3 years on a Canadian Oberon class diesel submarine during the cold war. At the time, it was the quietest boat in the world. Its primary function was hunting other submarines rather than anti-shipping. My bunkmate was a MK-## torpedo. Had a few near collisions as we played cat & mouse with our adversaries. “Dolphin 49”

      I shared shore accommodations (when ships/subs are in port for those without civilian accomodations) - actually it was just the bathroom, we each had two rooms on either side - for two years with an O-boat Lt(N)…a complete nutter. We got along great. It was at the old Wardroom at Stadacona. A crime against Canadian heritage to destroy that building, and the O-boats for that matter. Their replacements are absolutely useless. Damn Liberals signed off on acquiring Upholder-class boats, renaming them Victoria-class. They have never worked properly and never will. So, I guess that makes you one of Canada’s last submariners…”Ready Aye Ready” no longer applies…😢

    I was at a nuclear symposium once in which Edward Teller was easily the number one speaker. What was interesting was that he refused to take oral questions from the audience. We had to write our questions on paper and pass it to the aisles where it was picked up. Dr Teller then went through the questions and answered those he chose to answer. My guess was that it was because of the controversy involving his testimony at the hearing in which Oppenheimer lost his security clearance.

    Everything connected to and having anything to do with the submarine technology, is regarded highly classified and top secret by the US Navy. The only other segment of the military technology that receives the similar level of secrecy, is the development of classified stealth bombers and 6th gen fighters by the US Air Force.
    It is thought that the US holds a significant edge over our adversaries in the submarine technology, and has been for the last 70 years... In the last 20-25 years US Navy's capability and proficiency in an anti submarine warfare has atrophied somewhat which is understandable given the lack of a clear near peer adversary in the sub surface warfare domain. US Navy is aware of this and have started to invest heavily in the training and war gaming to bring our submariners back at the top.. Of course a few new types of technologies are being developed too, from the use of the UUVs (unmanned underwater vehicles), to anti torpedo torpedoes, and last but not least the preliminary work on the next generation of the fast attack submarines (SSN(X)) that will start to replace the Virginia class in mid 2030s. SSN(X) are gonna be much more similar to the Seawolf class, being optimized for the deep bluie water anti submarine warfare in contrast to Virginia class that was (in the line with the times) more optimized for the littoral warfare and ground attack. SSN(X) will have 8 torpedo tubes (Virginia has 6), be larger, more expensive and, what's most important - much more deadlier to an enemy's surface fleet.

      That was probably the only time in history where the soviets had the possibility to win in a conflict against the western powers. Western europe was still in shambles, americans didnt have enough troops in europe to withstand the red horde and you can be damn sure that Stalin the mad man he was wouldn't have cared for a couple of nukes on his civilian populations. And if, just say if the americans would have managed to capture moscow, then what? American track records dont do well with dealing with insurgents in guerilla warfare nowaday, i dont recon they would be better at it in the 40s in a country which suffered terribly under the last occupiers.
      Warmongering generals are rarely good to keep around in peacetime so no wonders he got fired. America won the cold war through peace, they would have lost along with the entire world should they have choosen war.

    25:55 All the crew members of the LINK sub (actually it was an up to 4-man submersible) did not die. Two of the four crew members died of respiratory acidosis cause the accumulation of carbon dioxide when the CO2 scrubbers failed. There is an excellent YT video that covers the mishap. Also, two separate submersibles did reach it with one freeing the LINK submersible.

    I found this very interesting and more true than "Blind Mans Bluff" which had a lot of errors in it __I still remember the chart table from my sub school visit to the Nautilus when it was still commissioned in the winter of 63-64 - I reported aboard the SSBN-635 on April 10, 1964 (I was seventeen yrs old) and completed the new construction, all sea trials and commissioning - we had to many seaman and they ask for volunteers to transfer to another boat and like the fool that I was I excepted and reported aboard the SSN-603 on April 10, 1965 - biggest mistake of my life due to an abusive Chief (also an ex Nautilus sailor) like the step father I joined to Navy to get away from as soon as I turned 17 and my mother signed the form - I wish I could tell you some of the Russian encounters we had -

    Hold onto your hats as I have a story from1984 Told to me by someone who actually was a witness, not 3rd hand ...Around the 20 minute mark of the video a soviet sub somehow loseS power and settles on the deep ocean floor full of nukes and an entire alive crew? The Russians have no ship capable of operating at those depths, so they were just resigned to a tragic accident with all hands lost...well we knew what had happened and had been engaged in deep ocean research And had developed the Hughes (YES That Howard was quite busy developing communication satelights snd helicopters as well) Glomar Explorer. which in 1968 was sent ti see if it could grab the boat?..which it did and towed it back to our secret submarine bases on the west coast of California under the command of the CIA. Who of course had no experiece of a mission like this, but they had some special help. My neighbor 'ron' worked on the staffbof the president of Lockheed in Sunnyvale, and they do have the expertise in such things snd the sub was secretly rescued and the russian sailors thought the food in the lockheed cafateria at the secret sub pens, was great and they were in no hurry to return to dreary cold soviet russia and here they stayed, and the Kremlin was embarrassed bad enough having realized they were powerless to rescue the men and just wanted the story to go away...I was a 25 Year old kid commuting with 'ron' from boulder creek ca in the redwood forest above santa cruz into the silicon valley in 1984 when he told me this single fantastical story...and I never knew him to be a liar?...believe it or not?...lol

    Johnson Sea Link accident;
    In 1973, during a seemingly routine dive off Key West, the Johnson Sea Link was trapped for over 24 hours in the wreckage of the destroyer USS Fred T. Berry, which had been sunk to create an artificial reef. Although the submersible was eventually recovered by the rescue vessel A.B. Wood II, two of the four occupants died of carbon dioxide poisoning - 31-year-old Edwin Clayton Link, the son of Edwin Link, and 51-year-old diver Albert Dennison Stover. The submersible's pilot, Archibald "Jock" Menzies, and ichthyologist Robert Meek survived.[5][6][7][8][9] Over the next two years, Edwin Link designed an unmanned Cabled Observation and Rescue Device (CORD) that could free a trapped submersible
