About this listen

In this episode of Launching into History, we uncover the astonishing true story of Project Azorian—a secret CIA operation that built a fake mining ship, spent hundreds of millions, and tried to recover a Soviet submarine from the ocean floor. It’s a tale of deception, engineering wizardry, and the origins of a now-famous phrase: “We can neither confirm nor deny.” If you think you know Cold War history—think again!
