There was a fellow who claimed the events in Red Star Rogue were fabricated. Obviously he didn't check the references and has never read Dr. John P. Craven's book "The Silent War."

Dr. Craven was the chief civilian scientist on the Polaris project. He was the manager on NR-1; he was involved in the DSRV project and Sea Lab II. Dr. Craven formed Submarine Development Group One and was the head of the Navy's deep submergence program. Dr. Craven was in charge of the search for the K-129 and discovered the purpose of its last mission. In the chapter titled, “The Story of Two Submarines” he states without reservation, “the submarine was a rogue.” He also provides proof that the sub exploded while launching a ballistic missile at Hawaii.

Dr. Craven book was heavily censored, but if you read the chapter listed above, you will find enough information to make the case for Red Star Rogue. However, I was not under the same restrictions as Dr. Craven. Red Star Rogue proves Dr. Craven’s points. Here’s one example of what you will find in the book:

The University of Hawaii research vessel found the oil slick from the sub. It was laced with radioactive material. Our researchers at the U of Hawaii discovered the R/V was working along the Hawaiian Leeward Islands. Ask any quartermaster to show you the Pilot Chart for this area in the month of March. Based on the currents and winds in this area, we were able to use programs designed to track oil slicks and backtrack the path of the radioactive oil slick to a location, 400 miles SW of where the Soviet Navy had assigned K-129 to patrol. The location was an exact intersection of lines of latitude and longitude, on the surface, just within the 350-mile range of a Chinese missile launch, (K-129 was trying to mimic an attack from a Chinese submarine, thus starting a war between its two enemies, China and the U.S.). This is only one small item among hundreds of points we use to support the book.

I expect people to be critical; many are just looking for attention. But the book has a message, “If a group of radical Stalinists could hijack a nuclear weapon and come within inches of destroying a major American city in 1968. How difficult would it be for a similar group of well funded, radical Islamic terrorists to do the same thing in 2005?”
