They gave the ship bell back to Russia even though it was located on an area of the ship that wasn't claimed to be recovered. How much is still left unknown about this op?

1968 wasn't a good year for submarines anon. :^)

We will probably never know. Just as we will probably never know why the K-129 sank in the first place.

This is so cool. Sonar composite? I'd assume that there were no flash powerful enough to take an actual photograph at that dept and darkness?

No love for this? Watch the documentary on Netflix, breddy fucking cool. One of the most expensive projects in history just to gain an edge on the Soviets. The fucking gimbal on that thing was a marvel in itself.

That fucking burial at sea vid always gives me the damn chills. Looks like some IRL found footage horror film.

Maybe a cam on the rig?

woah that's fucking cool

>>28287648
Er, what? You don't need very powerful lights, it's no different from any other water in the darkness.

They sent down a bathysphere with a searchlight and internal cameras.

The distortion you're seeing is from the glass of the observation deck, which isn't completely glass due to the pressures it has to withstand.

>Dat Bismarck

It's so alone, dark, and cold down there

;__;7

>>28288746
Can you give me the name of the documentary?

>>28291336
Random anon here, I think it's Azorian: The Raising of the K-129, but it doesn't show up on Netflix for me (US here).

I found the Netflix DVD page for it, but nothing about streaming.

Parts 1 and 2 are on kat.cr, but have very few seeders.

Damn, that's a lot of water

It would be completely shitty, but I'd be able to face a death by gunshot, by artillery, getting shot down and crashing, or BTFO in a tank, but being trapped in an air pocket on a sinking ship that's hundreds-thousands of feet down, that you know will probably implode, while hearing the eerie silence as the ocean claims the ship is some of the most terrifying shit I can imagine.

I don't know how this fucker stayed sane

what the hell is the squid looking thing?

>>28285645
Sad to see it go. Probably one of the more interesting CIA ops of the cold war, before you start hearing about deep-sea exploration of the Bismarck and Titanic.

I wouldn't worry about it

Fuck dying at sea at all. And fuck having to look a guy in the eye and tell him you're going to have to eat him to survive.
