We came a lot closer to nuclear war with Russia in 1969 when K-129 Soviet ballistic sub launched a warhead toward Pearl Harbor” but blew up and sank their sub...which we recovered unknown to the Russians.

The evidence is quite compelling...

The book “Red Star Rouge” tells the story...

Another great book is "Hostile Waters" where a Soviet sub has a dud launch caused by seawater getting into the tube and causing the engine to sort of fire. An American sub behind it detected the launch. The rest of the book documented the K-219 crew's valiant attempts against the Soviets bumbling.

True story.
