"I thought that sub was found from triangulating the noise from the implosion?"-Calvin Locke

Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS)

"1968 - In May, the USS SCORPION submarine sank southwest of the Azores. In this same year, a Soviet Golf class SSB sank north of Hawaii. SOSUS played a key role in locating the sites of both disasters."

About SOSUS at globalsecurity.org/

The CIA operation to raise the Soviet Golf class sub, was code-named JENNIFER.

Again from Blind Man's Bluff, IIRC, the third sound recording from one of those accidents came from a non-SOSUS source,
which is why I didn't mention SOSUS.

With the Golf SSB, and the Glomar relevation, the Soviets thought the US had something to do with the sinking, since
we were able to find it, and they weren't.

The US sub and/or crew that actually found the Golf got a commendation. The commander and exec were about the only
two to know why they got the commendation. And the camera guys.
