I thought that sub was found from triangulating the noise from the implosion?

Any way Why didn't the Russians know the location of their own sub?

Usually they did. They just looked for P-3s circling overhead...

I was an aviation machinists mate in an ASW squadron based at NAS Alameda from 69-70. The Russians were off the coast all the time and we were on them like white on rice. The general public didn't have a clue about what was going on just a few miles from them.

Or H-3s, SH-3s

(But in the late 60's I think it was P-2s)

Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS)

"1968 - In May, the USS SCORPION submarine sank southwest of the Azores. In this same year, a Soviet Golf class SSB sank north of Hawaii. SOSUS played a key role in locating the sites of both disasters."

About SOSUS at globalsecurity.org/

The CIA operation to raise the Soviet Golf class sub, was code-named JENNIFER.
