A Golf class sub K-129 went down supposedly 360 nautical miles west of pearl harbor. The Thinking of this is that K-129 was a rouge sub outside of its assigned launch box attempting a strike on Pearl with the attempt of tricking the US into thinking that the Chinese were the culprits and start a war with their new enemy. What would have happened if K-129 succeeded. Would the US Military known it was the Soviets? If so would that bring an all out attack on the Soviet Union or would this trick bring a reign of destruction on China? Any thoughts?
