The Many Methods of Communicating with Submarines

If you like this kind of stuff checkout "Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story Of American Submarine Espionage"

There are so many fascinating details about submarine operations that are now unclassified (and makes you guess about what things are like that are still hidden). From communications to the underground listening stations to attempting (and succeeding) in wire-tapping soviet communication cables, to attempting to lift a wrecked foreign submarine right off the ocean floor.

It's an amazing read and very well written.

The audiobook has some nice extra commentary as well.

That book blew the cover off missions that hadn’t been known to the public at all, so it was a bit controversial at release - the commentary touches on all that.

Red November and The Taking of K129 are also great reads along these lines.

I loved the audiobook, but somehow I missed the controversy part. Thanks for the recommendations!

I think you mean 'The hunt for Red October'
