No one is supposed to but I saw some places where officers demanded it (those inferiority complexes must be a bitch).

As I recall the hallways inside Bancroft Hall... salutes were required for all officers and brigade officers Midshipman LCDR on up. So it depends on your definition of "inside."

“Yeah, it looks different after reading the article. I had to violate FR rules just to read the article.”

As I understand it she sank because of a faulty hull repair that failed.

From what I recall, the Thresher had some LP piping that failed as she was trying to fill her ballast tanks. Piping, not a hull repair.

Looks interesting. Nice cover too!

Blind Man's Bluff reads like a Tom Clancy' novel, except it's actually real!

Strongly recommend.

[Az Joe]

It is pretty convincing

[ballplayer]

What then were they shooting at?

What then were they shooting at?

When that was proposed, it was supposedly related to a test of some kind. From the article, it is most likely that the Russians sank her.

BS. on all counts.

Several people posted comments directly to the article. One claims to be a son of one of the crewmembers, and he expressed your view. He also offers counter evidence. The majority of the posted opinions agree with you in tone. I was taken in by the article, but read the comments on the article at the bottom. I need to remember to be more skeptical. That doesn't mean it did not happen, but only that this is but scant evidence that it did.
