This stuff has been going on for 50+ years. Once again, read "Blind Man's Bluff". It's a very interesting book. My wife's nephew's FIL was the engineering officer during one of the incidents.
Blind Man's BluffThat does seem like a good book. Maybe I will read it some day, but until then ...
How does what is revealed in the book make what we see here seem like anything other then a screw up?
I mean, guess what, they know we were there and our sub is damaged and the crew was in grave danger.
