“OT...but does anybody remember the Thresher?.....”

Sure do. IIRC it sank on a shakedown cruise with a lot of America’s best sub technicians on board. The story I remember reading at the time was that some valves had been installed backwards.

My good friend’s brother died on the Thresher in 1962, I think. It was a very sad day. His pen pal traveled from Ireland to pay her condolences to the family and ended up marrying another brother.
