remember back about 25 years when the Swedes bottled up a Russian sub in a fjord and it was forced to surface?

well 20 years later it turned out that sub DID have nuclear weapons on board and they DID target a city during that emergency.

In the Swedish detective series "Wallander" (not BBC), they did a show on the incident, but it was a US sub that was trapped and helped to escape by elements in the Swedish government, resulting in the death of a SW diver placing beacons for the sub.

Years later, a fisherman pulls up stuff...

This is similar to the plot from the 1965 movie "The Bedford Incident".
