		The Soviet Navy also developed several types of missile attack submarines (SSGNs), which carried a heavy load of anti-surface missiles, as their primary targets were the U.S.'s primary force-projection vessel, nuclear-powered and conventional aircraft carriers.
		Submarines are also used for marine and freshwater science and for work at depths too great for human divers.
		Ballistic missile submarines (boomers or SSBN in American slang) carry submarine-launched ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads, for attacking strategic targets such as cities or missile silos anywhere in the world.

		Russian officials long have suspected that the Soviet sub K-129 was struck by an American submarine, the USS Swordfish.
		WASHINGTON –– Russia's initial suspicion of a sinister American role in the sinking of the nuclear submarine Kursk is rooted in distrust of U.S. motives – distrust so firmly held that Russian officials still press for answers in the sinking of a Soviet sub in 1968.
		That is what the Pentagon and the CIA have told the Russians repeatedly regarding the 1968 submarine sinking in the Pacific, but Moscow continues to insist that Washington is hiding its involvement.

		The Soviet Navy ran a search and rescue operation but had no idea where the K129 was - the Americans knew almost exactly where she was and soon a plot was being hatched to actually raise her from the seabed.

		This was the loss of the Soviet Golf II class ballistic missile submarine (SSB) K-129, and the subsequent examination and recovery of the wreck by the United States.
		The plot was to have K-129 emulate a Chinese Golf I submarine (an earlier transfer from the USSR before the split with China) and launch a one megaton nuclear missile toward Pearl Harbor.
		The submarine was not in a single piece as claimed by the CIA (A point made earlier by Burleson in his book), and the photos showed damage consistent, upon detailed technical analysis, with the probability of an attempted failed missile launch.

	The USS Scorpion - Mystery of the Deep
		Shortly before the submarine USS Scorpion sank on May 22, 1968, killing its 99-man·crew, U.S. intelligence officials learned that a group of Soviet warships operating in the Atlantic possibly knew that the sub was on its way to spy on them.
		The court described the Soviet presence as an undefined "hydro-acoustic" research operation involving two research vessels and a submarine rescue ship among others, implying the Soviets were merely conducting studies of sound effects in the ocean rather than a military mission.
		But Beshany, the director of submarine warfare at the time, said in a recent interview that Pentagon officials had been concerned the Soviets were developing a way to support warships and submarines at sea without requiring access to foreign seaports for supplies.

	Pro Cynic
		While the still-not-entirely-blue-water-capable Soviet navy could not locate the submarine (though in fairness this was due in part to the fact that the special ops highjackers had taken the submarine far from its assigned patrol zone) the US Navy could -- and did.
		While the Soviet military loyal to the Kremlin leadership searched for the sub, the K-129 was in the Pacific off of Hawaii, preparing to launch a nuclear missile at the US Pacific Fleet's base at Pearl Harbor.
		It was only later, when the US quietly provided to the Soviets evidence of the K-129's activities, including pieces recovered from its wreck, that the Soviets realized what had been going on.
