Report: Titanic Discovery Was Cold War Cover-Up

The man who located the wreck of the Titanic has revealed that the discovery was a cover-up for the real mission of inspecting the wrecks of two Cold War nuclear submarines.
When Bob Ballard led a team that pinpointed the wreckage of the liner in 1985, he had already completed his main task of finding out what happened to USS Thresher and USS Scorpion.

He should write a book.

I heard about that on TV (Discovery Channel?) a while ago.

I should have mention that this thread is not about Hillary and her comments on the California Primary.

I haven't heard those yet. Did she say she was rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic?

That title is just a little misleading.
It gives the impression that the searchers pretended to look for the Titanic while actually looking for the two subs. In reality, the two subs and the Titanic were too far away from each other for any of them to be a cover for any other search effort. It looks more like a deal of the Navy allowing Ballard to use their super-duper equipment in exchange for locating the subs.
The location of the Thresher was always known. The video from Ballards search has been seen on documentaries about both the Thresher and the Scorpion for several years now.
