Killers of the Cold War

SOLD -  (You can order a print of "Killers" but the original has been sold to a "Cold War" collector.    A US Navy P-3 Orion surprises a Soviet Victor 3 Attack Submarine, a cat-and-mouse drama that played out thousands of times, out of sight of most media, and usually thousands of miles away from the U.S.   Submarines are stealthy killers, and the P-3 was the “anti-sub”, with the ability to find, track and kill this threat to shipping.   Missions were long and methodical, but could be punctuated by quick action and stark terror. 

One of my classmates asked me to compose this image, to remind him of the excitement and important role he played in this Cold War drama, as did so many of his colleagues.
