Tracking 'Ivan' During the Cold War

摘要

Enlisting in the Navy in July 1973, a young James Donovan was enticed by a recruiter who sold him on the ocean systems technician (analyst) rating. Promised no sea duty and paradise-like duty stations along tropical beaches in locations such as Bermuda and Hawaii, Donovan also had been given the impression he was going to perform oceanography for the advancement of science. Instead, he recalled being taken behind locked doors at a facility at Key West, Fla., to learn that his new calling in life was to locate Soviet submarines.
