Title: An interesting sidelight of the cold war.
Review: This documentary is helpful in telling about SOSUS, an interesting part of the Navy activities during the cold war. Until recent years the ability it gave the navy to detect and track Soviet submarines at long range was a well kept secret.The role of the Bell Laboratories and Western Electric in conceiving, developing, installing and supporting the operations of SOSUS is underplayed, probably reflecting Ballard's background as a Navy Lab man. In particular it ignores the crucial role of a small group of Bell labs scientists under Dan McMillin in finding of the lost Scorpion submarine.
