Original Title: TIL the biggest espionage leak in US Navy history involved a spy ring of four people: leader John A. Walker, his son, his brother, & a friend. The US Navy wasn't even aware of Walker's network, which existed from 1967-1985, until his ex-wife revealed it to them after their daughter convinced her to.
