K 129, USS Scorpion, Hunt for Red October

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

this is a documentary about K 129 and USS Scorpion headlined “trading blows”.

[fficial&client=firefox-a#q=ZDF+History+K+129+video&hl=de&client=firefox-a&hs=pL&rls=org.mozilla:deyawning smileyfficial&prmd=imvns&source=univ&tbm=vid&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=wnQ-UPavD4X-4QTY4oDIAg&ved=0CEEQqwQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&fp=1ea903d10fe2457c&biw=1600&bih=705" rel="nofollow">www.google.de]

What is interesting that it seems that Tom Clancy took these incidents to make up his story “Hunt for Red October”.

A lot of exciting speculations, K 129 was supposed to be a rebel boat on its way to the USA to fire an atomic missile at the US-homeland. On the other hand the USS Scorpion was supposed to be sunk as revenge by the Sowjets, because they believed K 129 was sunk by a US submarine. Very tantalizing story with comments of all kind of American experts.

You all have a nice day.
Sincerely Yours
VEK
