Finding it could have been easy. The K-129 had been photographed from space by American spy satellites ...

American spy satellites in March 1968? The technology was in its infancy at that point ... not likely.

True. The K129's approximate location was plotted by SOUS microphones which recorded the explosion. The exact location of K129 was found by the crew of the Navy's NR1 submarine.

In 1961, Sports Illustrated published a photo taken by a SAMOS satellite. It clearly showed a golf ball sitting on a golf green. SAMOS was public knowledge, but I have no idea how the magazine got hold of a photo from such a sensitive program.

Hi.

“American spy satellites in March 1968? “

On the surface we followed them out of port. It wasn’t till much later we could follow them submerged.

5.56mm

Yeah, it would be over a year before we could put a man on the Moon!
