I'm reading this book about the sinking of a Russian sub named k-129. This sub sank off the coast of Hawaii in the 1960's and the sinking has never been fully explained. Later the US attempted to raise the submarine using the Glomar Explorer, in which Howard Hughes had a part in.
The sub was a Golf II class submarine able to launch nuclear bombs while submerged at a range of nearly one thousand miles. According to this book, the k-129 was less than 400 miles from Hawaii and was attempting to launch from the surface, making it look it look like a Golf 1 submarine launched. The launch was "reported to have been witnessed by US spy satellites. The reason the Golf II sub was launching from the surface was to make it look like it was a Chinese Golf I submarine.
The entire story of the book claims a small fraction in Russia wanted it to look like China launched a nuke on Hawaii.
Think any of this is remotely possible?
