The man who located the wreck of the Titanic has revealed that the discovery was a cover-up for the real mission of inspecting the wrecks of two Cold War nuclear submarines.
When Bob Ballard led a team that pinpointed the wreckage of the liner in 1985, he had already completed his main task of finding out what happened to USS Thresher and USS Scorpion.
Fox News/London Times: The search for Scorpion and Thresher, not the Titanic
The article says he found the Thresher in the eastern Atlantic. I don't believe it. Pentagon scuttlebutt is that Thresher was spying on Soviet sub movements in and out of the Sevastapol sub base in the North Sea. Somehow she became a sonar target, was engaged and after a brief fight, was sunk. So the good doctor is still lying, which means that not everything in the Navy archives regarding these two subs is declassified.
