I saw something on maybe The History Channel. I thought that they were pretty sure that it was hit by a torpedo. They were able to say that because of the wreckage, but mostly by reports of sonar data that were later obtained. I thought that the commonly accepted theory was that it was hit by one of its own torpedoes.

The explanation was that the torpedo was armed and its propulsion system malfunctioned. The prop was spinning in the torpedo tube and it had to fired in order to avoid an on board explosion. There were several high ranking naval officers, in uniform, offering this explanation. I thought that it sounded pretty far fetched. I'm not a conspiracy guy. However, if there was evidence that it was hit by a torpedo and the intent was to cover up an act of war. What other story could you tell?

I read somewhere that Bob Ballard was given the funds for his deep see explorations to find the Scorpion. I think that they know exactly what killed it and her crew.

Then Ballard went and found the Titanic with the same gear.
