15,000 Feet Below the Waves Lurks Trouble: This Dead Russian Submarine Is Nuclear Armed | The National Interest

15,000 Feet Below the Waves Lurks Trouble: This Dead Russian Submarine Is Nuclear Armed | The National Interest: "Unfortunately, the loss of power onboard and the difficult weather conditions were too much for the crew to overcome. On April 12, K-8 sank with some forty crew members aboard, coming to rest at a rough depth of 15,000 feet. The depth made any effort at recovering the submarine, and the nuclear torpedoes, impractical."
