This is an interesting story. The sub broke in half as it was pulled up and apparently the part we most wanted was the one that fell to the sea bottom so the whole thing was a disappointment. The bodies of several soviets were found in the wreckage and the crew gave them a proper burial at sea with military honors and a brief service in Russian, which they video taped and years later, after the story was out, provided to the Russian government as a token of respect and to show that their people were treated with dignity and respect.

What they don't mention , is the sub broke apart BECAUSE one the grappling claws failed at a weld point, thus the sub wasn't properly cradled
