I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Nah, any submarine was legit until it proved friendly and even then only after it admitted a 'kill'.

Lots of incidents were not covered but I found the Swiftsure/Kiev story fascinating as was David Owen's input.

As an aside, there is a US author that I am in contact with, his first novel involved a submarine transiting the Bosporus under cover of a mership. Sandy Woodward was one of his advisors and the technical detail was identical to the programme.
