For all you Naval history buffs out there .... here is some food for thought. The following incidents took place during the cold war in 1968
On Jan 28 1968 The USS Pueblo is captured by the North Koreans

North Korea still holds this ship and it is till listed in American naval register as active service
On 8 march 1968 the Soviet submarine K-129 sinks in the pacific. There are various theories about the sinking of the submarine such as
1) It was a rogue submarine trying to launch a nuclear attack on the Americans.
2) It collided with the American Submarine USS Swordfish and sank.
One thing is certain ... The American knew where the K-129 sank and raised it in July 1974.

In July 1968 The American nuclear submarine USS Scorpion sinks in the Atlantic ocean.
In the book Scorpion Down: Sunk by the Soviets, Buried by the Pentagon: The Untold Story of the USS Scorpion
Amazon.com: Scorpion Down: Sunk by the Soviets, Buried by the Pentagon: The Untold Story of the USS Scorpion (9780465051861): Ed Offley: Books
the author Ed Offley argues that a Russian submarine sank the Scorpion to avenge the loss of K-129. Then both sides hushed up the whole affair to prevent escalation.
Two other submarines that went down the same year were the French submarine Minerve and the Israeli submarine Dakar. Reason of loss of both hulls is unknown. Both submarines sank few days apart in a space of 1000 miles.
What are your thoughts ?
