Re-reading Blind Man’s Bluff about the exploits of the American submarine fleet during the Cold War. I’m at the point now that is discussing a phone tap placed on an underground cable near between the Soviet sub base on an island and the mainland base. When finally discovered after many years by the Soviets, they found a little stamp on the recording device that said “Property of United States Government.”
True heroes all.

Blind Man’s Bluff is a very good read. Read it several years ago.

Recommended if you have not read them: "Thunder Below", and "Clear the Bridge". Along with "Blind Man's Bluff", they are pretty much req'd reading on every sub in the fleet.
Myself, I am now reading "Double Tap" by Steve Martini.
