A guy in my class at Naval Nuclear Power School lost his dad on the Thresher. He was planning to serve on subs like his father.

Thanks for posting....

IIRC some years ago a deep-dive ROV, possibly on one of Ballard's expeditions, found the sub, and took pictures, which were published. I think it was the USS Tresher..but could have been of the USS Scorpion, which was lost a few years later..amid rimors that it collided with a Soviet sub.

For those who are interested in the history of the "Silent Service", here's a link to the USS Bowfin Memorial at Pearl Harbor. It's a wonderful website...great audio and video. I last visited Pearl about 7 years ago...spent a day at the Bowfin and the Arizona...hard to image 80 crew living in a space that small..and what really amazed me was the galley..about the size of a closet..that they could prepare meals 24/7/365...in that small a space..I vowed then never to complain about a "perceived" lack of counter space in our kitchen..

There’s a great museum in New London, Ct, right next to
Electric boat. The old Nautilus can be toured while there.
