A Quote by Caspar Weinberger

PageQuoteDate
The secret war against Sweden“[I]t was very much to Sweden's advantage and very much to NATO's advantage that this was done. [The "Whiskey on the Rocks" showed that] submarines can get in where they are not wanted and that is exactly why we made this defensive testing and these defensive maneuvers to assure that they [the Soviets] would not be able to do that. […] Besides that one intrusion of the Whiskey-class submarine, there were no violations, no capabilities of the Soviets.”2000
