Search For RMS Titanic Was a Cover Story

Posted by timothy on from the just-like-in-the-spy-who-loved-me dept.

wiredog writes "According to National Geographic, Robert Ballard's search for the RMS Titanic in 1985 was a cover operation for the real search: They were looking for the USS Thresher and USS Scorpion, two US nuclear submarines that sank during the Cold War." ABC News also has a story on this two-fer undersea search.
