You've got to be kidding me?

It seems to me that if you were going to attack Pearl you would use more than just a beaten up old Golf class. Didn't she pack three Serb class missiles?

My leading theory was always that she had a battery explosion after a hydrogen leak. Researches say she was surfaced at night recharging when the entire rear battery compartment blew through her hull.

The only evidence to support that she was on the surface were the remains of a sailor in foul-weather gear.

She sank like a ton of bricks.

I guess anything is possible but Soviet captains were under such tight control from Moscow... I don't know if it was possible for missiles to be launched WITHOUT the codes transmitted from high command.

What do you think Bill?
