later reports from the soviets comfirm that K129 broke into pieces but if there is the possiblity that the americans raised the entire submraine then the code books would have decintergrated due to the water.
even if america did get the code books some codes are unique to each boat making no two codes the same.
the fleet codes would have been changed immediatly incase of defection so the codes would have been useless anyway
on top of that K129 was obsolete they had better platforms both at sea and in the making.
realy surprises me that they didnt attempt to raise K219 or Komsomolets
