His answer was the Glomar Explorer, 2 years in the building, with which it was planned to lower a giant grab 5km to the seabed and pick up the submarine, raise it to the surface, and hide it within the confines of a huge water filled hold known on board as the moon pool.

 SOSUS The "Secret Weapon" of Undersea Surveillance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
This capability was facilitated by geographical constraints that forced Soviet submarines into predictable deployment patterns and the rudimentary state of Russian acoustic quieting, which left their submarines some 30 dB noisier than U.S. counterparts – and hence easily detectable from thousands of miles away.
By the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s, Russian submarines were much closer to their U.S. equivalents, and the ability of IUSS to detect and track them at long range had deteriorated significantly.
With few possibly-hostile, nuclear-powered submarines still operating at sea and modern, quiet, diesel-electric boats essentially undetectable at long range by passive means, there’s not a lot to listen for anymore, and targets of potential interest are rare.
