In the summer of 1974, a large and highly unusual ship set sail from Long Beach in California

Quite the read... t:

Seriously though, good read. That's some Hollywood movie stuff with the cover up of the salvage op. And to think now there might be a real opportunity to do what was only a pipe dream in 1974.

Wow, some seriously 'James Bond' stuff there. Fascinating, thanks for posting

Again... That story should be turned into a movie.

I remember watching a PBS program on this awhile back so I'm surprised more people didn't know about this already.

While we're talking about little-known Cold War facts, anyone know that John Wayne had a KGB hit team sent after him by Stalin because he was a threat to the spread of communism?
