Since the ships main purpose was communication, wouldn't that mean, it could have been easily detected by the enemy, and then the command chain would vanish?

- nradov 6y agoDetection is one thing, targeting is another. Back then the Soviet Union didn't have much of a blue water navy, or many reconnaissance satellites, or missiles that could accurately hit a moving ship.
- hutzlibu 6y agoThe text mentions spy satelites as the main factor that came later, as well as cruise missiles etc. But still, radio triangulation was a known technic and submarines did exist and should have been expected to be build by the sovjets, so I am still wondering a bit, why the dedection issue was not mentioned.
