'''Operation BLACK SUN''' was the [[GRU Division P]] emergency response to the loss of the submarine ''KRASNYJ KAMEN'' in the Norwegian Sea, June 1981. Led in person by [[Vasili Orlov]].<br />
<br />
The Department's knowledge of it derives from intercept and from material recovered later; no American personnel were present at the engagement.<br />
<br />
Division P lost the deep-submergence apparatus and nineteen further personnel in under four minutes. Orlov's report declines to characterise the event as an engagement, on the grounds that only one party was fighting.<br />
<br />
The anomaly, designated AO-1981 BLACK LEVIATHAN, remains active and uncontained. It has never risen above three thousand metres and has never approached a coast.<br />
<br />
American [[Special Projects Staff]] activity aboard ''USNS Halcyon'' was logged by the Soviet side and not engaged.<br />
