Well, act of war would have been placing a mine on the warship, even though I think it was highly unlikely to be a mine, probably some kind of tracking device.Originally posted by Troll View PostAct of war
I think I read somewhere that this poor chap was found without a head, most likely caused by the ship's propeller - it makes this new story rather doubtful.

Ruskies killed Buster
Act of war
A former Russian frogman has claimed that he killed British diver Cdr Lionel "Buster" Crabb, who disappeared while spying on a Soviet warship in 1956.
Cdr Crabb vanished after the vessel, which had brought Soviet leaders to Britain, docked in Portsmouth Harbour.
Now retired sailor Eduard Koltsov claims he cut the Englishman's throat as he caught him placing a mine.
Mr Koltsov tells a Russian documentary that he needed to tell the truth about the Cold War mystery before he died.
The Soviet ship Ordzhonikidze had brought Nikita Khrushchev and other leaders for meetings with the British prime minister Anthony Eden and his ministers.

Several months later a headless corpse, identified by a friend as Cdr Crabb, was found floating along the coast.
At the time the diver went missing, the Navy said he was feared drowned in Stokes Bay - some miles to the west of Portsmouth HarbourTags: None
