They left a bunch out of the K129 story. We actually recovered part of the sub and there is a video that was later shared with Russia of a ceremony of the re-burial at sea of the human remians that were found on the part of the sub that was brought to the surface.

@aaronsmith4426 14 дней назад

And they left out the fact that Project Azorean happened the same year, a few months after the US lost a nuclear sub that`s last known position was off the coast of the Azores Islands and was trailing Soviet vessels. The interesting part was that it was headed back stateside for repairs but chose to follow the Soviets instead.

The Thresher took 3 days to reach crush depth, another sub searching passed over by about 150 feet but couldn't find it again that day so the search went deeper and again they heard the SOS banging on the hull but it was now twice the distance and the third day they heard banging but it was well down. Theres a Ex Sub guy on youtube that did a program on the official report and the military asked him not to do the second half but what I have said here is on the first half and it's still up.

Com'on. Independence is not such a mystery. One of the more famous ships at Bikini. She was brought to San Fransisco after the Bikini tests in order for engineers to study the radiological effects on her hull. Cool they found the wreck, but it was likely not that hard to find it. Someone just needed to be willing to spend the money to go down and have a look. And don't forget, Saratoga (CV-2) is still there at Bikini.

I'd be curious just out of imaginative speculation of how many skeletons are actually on the ocean floors not buried by mud and sand and whatnot. lol

@No_Fuse8771 2 месяца назад

Depending on the depth, none. The ocean deep down is very low in carbonates, so human, and other bone dissolve within a few months. Scavengers will clean the bones in just an hour. It only takes a day for a whale to be consumed. If they are not low there are parasites and worms that consume it almost at the same rate they dissolve. The oceans clean themselves very well. When the Sewol went down in Asia, they let it sit for a few months with 200+ bodies in it. The divers were pulling pieces out. I think one girl who was in a closed bathroom was the only full skeleton they got out. It was only 141 feet or so deep. 43 meters.

It's too bad they destroyed the USS Saratoga CV-3 during Crossroads as well. She made it through the war, although wasn't/isn't as relevant or revered as Enterprise CV-6 due to spending lots of time in drydock and then as a training ship as more fleet carriers entered service. Should have been preserved like Enterprise should have been. You can at least still dive on Saratoga though if you want, she still sits on the bottom of Bikini in clear waters. Can easily see it from above the surface.

The sensationalist narration and the overly dramatic commentary by the various "researchers" is exceedingly tiresome. A more factual presentation of the available information is far more desirable and appealing, especially because the nature of the topic really doesn't need any embellishment. It's already horrifying as it is.

No, she was a CVL, light aircraft carrier, but the lead ship of that class. Built on a Cleveland-class cruiser hull. Only carried about 25 fighters and 8 torpedo bombers. or 12 fighters, 9 torpedo/9 dive bombers. Small when compared to Essex fleet carriers. She wasn't the only carrier bombed in operation crossroads, the USS Saratoga CV-3 was as well, although imo it should have been preserved like the USS Enterprise should have been. it still lies on the bottom of Bikini, and is a popular rec dive site, as it is not very deep. Supposedly you can float above it in a boat and see it below in the clear water.

But before that, in the 50s and 60s so many nukes were set off by the US and other nations had already screwed it all over. The metal used for MRI and CAT has to come from salvaged ships that sunk before 1942, or it has radiation and cant be used.
