Scott,

With your back ground and interest in subs, you might be interested in reading about Operation Barmaid
Its amaazing to think just how quiet our subs are..


I had never heard how that all cam about. Thanks, that was a great read and my hat's off tour your boys for pulling that off.


I was reading an account about the history of the Conqueror and that was mentioned.

It seems the Russians "suddenly" fielded a towed array sonar system and both the Americans and Brits wanted to know whether the technology was home grown and or stolen of us..

Both countries had a number of traitors found to be selling sub secrets and I think that turned out to be one of them..

I would be quite happy for the folks caught to be hung, but apparently that's not PC anymore!
