Azorian: The Raising of the K-19 – DVD
$27.50
written, directed and produced by Michael White
In March 1968 the Soviet ballistic missile submarine K-129 carrying three of the most modern submarine-launched missiles then in the Soviet inventory, sank with the tragic loss of its 98 officers and crew in the dark abyss of the Central North Pacific. Its whereabouts remained unknown to the Soviets for over six years but not to American intelligence, which had located it within weeks of its demise. Under a Howard Hughes enterprise, the CIA crafted a secret program to raise the submarine in 1974. Code-named “Project Azorian” it would take over six years to complete and still remains highly classified even today. Now after more than three decades of secrecy, this incredible story can be told by the man who made it happen; with amazing never-before-seen footage of Azorian’s actual salvage attempt.
