No espionage missions have been kept more secret than those involving
American submarines. Now Blind Man's Bluff shows for the first time
how the Navy sent subs wired with self-destruct charges into the heart
of Soviet seas to tap crucial underwater telephone cables. It unveils
how the Navy's own negligence might have been responsible for the loss
of the USS Scorpion, a submarine that disappeared, with all hands
lost, 30 years ago. It tells the complete story of the audacious
attempt to steal a Soviet submarine with the help of eccentric
billionaire Howard Hughes, and how it was doomed from the start. And
it reveals how the Navy used the comforting notion of deep-sea rescue
vehicles to hide operations that were more James Bond than Jacques
Cousteau.

It would sound like whales humping or a seismic anomaly. Anything but
a submarine...
