EP41: 1984 Part 1 - The War Scare

We explore the 1981-83 nuclear war scare, what caused it, and what almost set the missiles flying during the Able Archer 83 exercise. This episode offers some background, and an introduction to Operation RYaN, the Soviet effort to predict a U.S. first strike. Very dangerous days. This time on the Vault.

The GIUK Gap, a very dangerous place for a submarine.
