About this episode
**Discussion begins at 4:35**
1968 is often called 'the year of the lost submarines' because, in a single twelve-month span, four different nations lost four military submarines under mysterious circumstances. The events, spanning both Cold War rivals and allies, occurred at the height of global tensions and remain the subject of speculation, secrecy, and intrigue. The losses involved the Israeli INS Dakar, the French Minerve, the Soviet K-129, and the American USS Scorpion—all vanishing or sinking within months of one another. While each case had its own circumstances, together they created an unprecedented cluster of naval disasters, fueling theories about hidden Cold War confrontations, espionage operations gone wrong, and the perils of submarine technology at the time.
