The Secret Hole Used to Steal a Submarine

Description

In 1974, a strange ship sat in the Pacific while a Soviet vessel watched nearby. Hidden inside its hull, a giant claw was lifting part of a Soviet submarine from three miles below.

The key was not the claw, it was the huge opening through the ship’s hull, called a moonpool.
