Carter said adding thai the fuel inside the reactors is encased in a heavy Metal that will Likely deteriorate Only Over thousands of years. Carter and it. Gen. Richard a. Burpee director of operations for the joint chiefs  sinking was observed on radar and intermittently by the Crew of Anavy p-3 reconnaissance plane through the Light provided by hares fired by the soviets Al the scene. A . Ocean going tug also was near the scene atthe Lime about 48 nautical Miles to the Southwest and offered assistance. But it was told to remain Clear the iwo  two officers while stressing thai they could t say for sure said it appears that the Crew of the submarine never gained control of the leaks caused by Fri Day s fire and explosion. The fire apparently began with the liquid fuel propellant for one of the missiles and the Force of the resulting explosion was enor Mous Carter said. I would say the ship had a very severe Shock when that explosion occurred he said. Now to what extent it flooded or Why it hooded. It must have Bee very slow progressive flooding because the ship was on the surface Lor roughly three Days before in  ship that was towing it was a soviet merchant Chip which is clearly not designed for a towing opera Tion Burpee added. So they stopped the towing at about 12 20 . And about 1 30 our p-3 notified us that the sub was getting lower in the water. Obviously it was starting to fill with water an then about 3 30, we had a notice from the air plane that the life Boll were out and survivors were coming out the Sab and being transferred in lifeboats. And then at 4 00 the Sun wring Sank Burpee  Carter speculated that the initial explosion which ripped apart one of the heavy Metal hatches Ove missile tube also damaged the null below the water i or ripped apart Interior sea water piping  liquid fuel systems Are very very danger Ous said Carter noting that . Submarines rely on solid fuel ballistic rockets. The soviet Crew had to be Well trained to initially contain the fire and get the submarine to the surface Carter said. But from that Point on he added there was probably nothing that could have been done to save the  s nothing those ships could have done he said referring to merchant vessels that stayed  be got a submarine that has a submerged Dis placement of 9,400 ions. Even if you had a heavy lift Derrick ship right there to help them you could t have Kepi the submarine probably on the surface Carter  if the United states might be interested in recovering the vessel Burpee replied no that s soviet responsibility if they want to recover it Carter added thai because of the vessel s age the first Yankee class submarines were built in the 1960s the Pentagon had not Learned anything of an military significance in monitoring the disaster. He also said that raising the vessel from that depth would be quite a feat. I Don l think you  Pentagon sources who requested anonymity Taid the soviets Are not believed to possess any vessel capable of lifting a vessel of that size to the surface. But carte  soviets do have a Small submersible capable of diving to such Depths to study the  United Stales owns a vessel that has attempted such deep recoveries in the past the Etc mar explorer built in secret in 1972, was used in 1974 to recover pieces of a soviet sub that Sank in the Pacific not far from Hawaii.
