Title: A Real-Life Mission Impossible: Raising a Sunken Soviet Submarine • Speaker: Josh Dean, Magazine Writer and Author • In 1968, a Soviet nuclear ballistic missile submarine went missing in the remote Pacific and the Russians declared it lost. Under the veil of secrecy, the Americans found the wreck, and over the next 6 years, the CIA designed and executed perhaps the largest and most complicated covert spy mission in history. This mission, code-named Project Azorian, was beyond audacious. Engineers set out to build a ship and system that could pull a 2 million pound object off the floor of the sea, 16,500 feet under the surface, without anyone knowing its true purpose. How is that possible? Because the CIA had the perfect cover story. The ship, they told the world, was an ocean mining vessel with a very eccentric owner: Howard Hughes. • Josh Dean is a journalist and author who writes frequently for many US magazines, including Popular Science, GQ, and Bloomberg Businessweek on a wide variety of subjects. His latest book, The Taking of K-129, tells the incredible true story of Project Azorian, the largest covert operation in CIA history, and arguably the greatest-ever feat of naval engineering. His next book, The Impossible Factory, will tell the story of aerospace legend Kelly Johnson and his remarkable Lockheed Skunk Works, birthplace SR-71 Blackbird. Additionally, he is the host and co-creator of the true crime podcast, The Clearing, coming this summer. • Recorded at the Big Techday 12 of TNG Technology Consulting GmbH / https://www.tngtech.com on June 7, 2019, in Munich / Germany, see also https://www.bigtechday.com
