Default Interesting paper on subs during Cuban Missile Crisis

http://www.cnrs-scrn.org/northern_ma..._13_3_1-19.pdf

I found this passage interesting:

"According to Mosgovoi the Russians repaired the decoy ejector, restoring
their full diving capability, and modified their underwater communications set to transmit
on the same frequency as Cecil's sonar. When no aircraft were present B-36 submerged and
transmitted answering pulses which confused the destroyer's sonar. The Foxtrot escaped and
shifted to a new patrol area for a further two weeks.40"


Clever - sonar jamming.
