But with the story beginning to leak out, it was decided to make one final effort to deceive the Soviets on the extent of the coup by floating a version of only partial success. The last theory goes off into the wild blue yonder, suggesting that raising a Soviet submarine was not Jennifer's mission at all, but the supreme cover for a secret mission as yet safely secure...

Alerted by Summa, Colby some months later reached Shearer, confirmed the basic facts and persuaded him to keep mum, arguing that recovery of the sub might yield some "ultrasecret" Soviet coding equipment...
