In 1968, at the height of the Cold War, a Soviet nuclear submarine, K-129, sank in the Pacific Ocean. For the Soviets, it was a human and military tragedy: a crew of 98 lost—along with a full complement of ballistic missiles. For the US, it was an opportunity to acquire a treasure trove of military and cryptologic secrets. The CIA sets out to find it in 1974 using a specially constructed vessel, the USNS Glomar Explorer (T-AG-193), financed by Howard Hughes. The codename for the operation was Project AZORIAN. • In this episode of SPY's Collection Highlights, historian and author, H.
