Det som står om Östersjön är i princip följande citat. Källhänvisningen i boken är till Tunanders publikationer..Kent skrev:Någon här som läst Hunter Killers utav Iain Ballantyne?
Boken innehåller väldigt mycket fakta om de uppdrag som brittiska ubåtar utförde i från 1950-2000
Sverige förekommer ytterst lite men Östersjön är med desto mer

"Citat ur "Hunter Killers, Ian BallanTyne"
"Safeguarding access to and from Leningrad, and its gateway naval base at Kronstadt, as well as the major facility at Baltiysk in the Kaliningrad enclave, was too important. They still needed to know what was going on, even in the bases and ports of neutral nations. The Russians referred to the Baltic as ‘the Sea of Peace’, an arrogant assertion of their supposed oontrol of it in the face of militarily weaker and more passive Scandinavians and Germans."
"To counter the Soviet naval presence in the Baltic - and find out what was going on in the foe’s harbours and bases — the British had for some years deployed diesels. They were smaller and quieter than SSNs and therefore better suited to such shallow waters. Among the Oberon Class boats consequently specialising in Baltic missions was, for example, HMS Ocelot, which carried out a deployment there in 1965. Porpoise Class boats also took part. By the late 1970s, the British were sending at least two O-boats a year into the Baltic, a commitment that continued into the early 1990s.
On one deployment Onslaught poked around the Baltic for seven weeks, her cramped interior home to 17 intelligence specialists in addition to her 65- strong crew. The intelligence-gathering O-boats — some of them even carrying Special Forces - dived before making submerged transits of the narrow Belt into the Balfic. NATO allies Germany and Denmark were advised, to avoid accidental attacks by friendly forces. It was recently claimed that Sweden — despite its neutrality — allowed submerged NATO submarines to transit its territorial waters via cleared lanes. Swedish boats also allegedly carried out covert missions inside Soviet territorial waters. The British O-boats are said to have frequently prowled in the littoral waters of the Soviet Union, using all the old skills of snorting and judicious employment of the periscope. Swedish sources have suggested they even sent ashore SBS teams to conduct close-up surveillance of key installations. HMS Orpheus was among vessels fitted with lockout Chambers so the commandos could exit while she was submerged. Unlike Soviet boats based in the Baltic — half a dozen Golf Class diesels, each armed with Three short-range ballistic missiles - the British submarines did not carry nuclear weapons. Britain has always denied they were there. However, when a sound recording of a suspected underwater intruder in Swedish waters was played back to UK sonar specialists, they agreed it sounded like an Oberon Class boat. In 1996 it was reported some alleged recordings were more likely to have been shoals of flatulent herring. It made a change from claiming Cold War submarines were icebergs."
