Indeed-  if true - which I doubt.
There is a James Follett radio play I was listening to earlier on which a system of satellites was used as a watchdog timer to prevent nuclear war, but unfortunately some experiment goes wrong and sends a load of metallic chaff into low earth orbit so the submarine cant hear them...
