I was stationed at New London on the
USS Jallao (SS-368) when the Thresher went down. A very sad day.

I was just in high school that day. Even I felt terrible about it. That was just like the Challenger explosion. Given the circumstances, it is probably safe to assume the crush depth wasn’t as good as expected or there was a bad weld. Even now I want to know what it was that got her.
