USS Halibut
A massive search and rescue effort including over 40 ships and submarines
was the U.S. Navy's first clue that the Soviet Navy had lost yet another
submarine. With the help of satellite surveillance and SOSUS records the
Americans quickly pin pointed the location of the lost sub. A series of
"abnormalities" prompted the Navy to dispatch a submarine equipped with a
Remotely Operated Vehicle to search the ocean floor and photograph the
Soviet submarine.
The USS Halibut was part of a top secret naval unit called Submarine Development Group One. Submarines assigned to this group were highly modified allowing them to photograph and reportedly, salvage items located on the deepest ocean floor.
 The USS Halibut took over 20,000 photographs of the wreckage using an ROV similar to the one show above
