Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Soviet nuclear ballistic missile submarine K-129 left Petropavlovsk, on Russia’s remote, frigid Kamchatka peninsula, with a crew of ninety-eight after dark on February 24, 1968, for a routine but unexpected patrol. The captain and second-in-command were both experienced officers.
#2 The crew of the K-129 was split into two groups for the duration of the break. Half went on vacation, while the other half were assigned to routine maintenance. When they switched roles, the crew was surprised to find that they had only two weeks to get the sub ready for service.
#3 The K-129 was a Soviet ballistic missile sub that carried three R-21 missiles. Each R-21 had a white nose cone stuffed with a nuclear warhead and was loaded into one of the three vertical launch tubes behind the sub’s conning tower.
#4 The Soviet sub K-129 was ordered to patrol the Pacific Ocean and wait for the arrival of a large antisubmarine ship that would escort her as far as the booms. The sub then turned toward the US coast.
