A stretch...

This comparison of the movie to the actual story of the K129 (better told in "Azorian: The Raising of the K-129 (2010)") is fairly entertaining, and well-done with many interesting details about the film, the actors, the writer, the director, and the K-129. But it's long-winded at about 2 hours, and there's a very-obvious effort to make it all fit the narrative of another book with a wild theory about what K-129 might have been doing (not based in any facts offered in this film) when it sank. This story would have been better if that fantasy had been omitted, but it's still worth watching.

The Global Marine (often abbreviated GloMar) Explorer - the ship built to recover the K-129 - utilized the largest gimbal (a mechanism that swivels in 2 directions) ever built, with bearings over 6 feet diameter, and capable of supporting 20,000 tons.

Patzer
About 30 minutes in, the narrator says that no one knew where K-129 sank. But the British & the US knew its exact location, within 50 square miles - a VERY small area within the Pacific Ocean. And they knew that location within hours of it sinking. It was later photographed by the USS Halibut in 1968, as described later in this film.
