i read scorpion down. interesting read. i seem to recall that the soviets lost a sub prior and blamed the us. scorpion was payback, according to the book. also lbj didn’t want to go to war.
also interesting was an article from a british source that said that bob ballard was on a mission to map the scorpion and threshers wrecks and incidentally found the titanic.
i’m sure the superior min ds of FR will correct me if i’m mistaken
1968, the year of 4 lost subs: Russian, French, Israeli and US.
