On 19 April 1956, Royal Navy frogman Buster Crabb slipped into Portsmouth Harbour to examine the hull of a Soviet warship carrying Khrushchev and Bulganin on a state visit. He surfaced once, dived again, and was never seen alive again. What followed was a cover-up that reached the Prime Minister, a hotel register stripped of evidence, a Commons debate, and a headless body pulled from Chichester Harbour fourteen months later. The full government files on his disappearance stay sealed until 2057.
