I would defer to the families but, I’m sure they will want to investigate what went wrong. Sad story.
I know a woman who’s dad was lost on the USS Thresher.
Very hard on the families.

I agree that an investigation is in order. I was merely referring to any attempt to recover the remains.

“I know a woman who’s dad was lost on the USS Thresher.”

I was on leave from Submarine School when the Thresher was lost. My mother tried to prevent me from returning to the Navy. She was unsuccessful. ;-)

A man who sat across from me in Submarine School reported straight from school to the Thresher without taking his two week leave. He was lost with the Thresher. ;-(
