Titanic search was a cover to look for two lost SSN

It wasn't really a search for the subs so much as it was to test new equipment. The Navy already knew where the subs were. The point of the mission was really so Ballard could test the new ROV Jason. I'm still puzzled, though, why they are treating this as new information when it has actually been known for a long time.

'Blind Mans Bluff' book mentions about the Thresher & Scorpion being found in the 60's

Wouldnt be surprised if the K8 has been dived on, not much to show though it was pretty much obsolete and out of date when she sank anyway, but the americans do like to take a peak what ever it is.
