The USS Halibut (SSN-587) was a nuclear-powered "white elephant," a failed Regulus missile submarine. But in 1965, it was secretly rebuilt for Project HOLYSTONE, the Navy's most classified intelligence program, to conduct "underwater engineering" deep inside Soviet waters.
This Cold War documentary reveals the "Skunkworks" refit that turned its missile hangar into a "Bat Cave" packed with NSA "spooks," added "Fish" ROVs, and a hidden saturation diving chamber disguised as a DSRV. These HOLYSTONE missions went far beyond the famous Operation Ivy Bells cable tap.

Learn how Halibut found the K-129 (enabling Project AZORIAN), "stole" fragments of the SS-N-12 Sandbox "carrier-killer" missile, and penetrated Vladivostok harbor. This legacy was perfected in the USS Parche (SSN-683) and its 100-foot "plug," a spy ship that became the most decorated in history without firing a shot.
