583, 584, 585: You gave me an actual head jerk until I realized wot you were writing about. Those were the hull numbers of submarines I worked on way back: 583 Sargo, 584 Seadragon, 585 Skipjack. And the Skipjack got lost-—real bummer there!
Had to look it up - better recycled than ‘lost”!
“Skipjack was decommissioned and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 19 April 1990, having served for 31 years in the US Navy. ex-Skipjack entered the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program in Bremerton, Washington, on 17 March 1996. Recycling was completed on 1 September 1998.”

I can understand why it would! You remember those sorts of things. Its not like stamping out bin loads of widgets on an assembly line.
