I was deeply involved in what was called special ops 400 for 8-9 years and a key player in developing the system AN/WLR-() that was initially installed on the 637 class boats. Off the coast of Russian in 1961 when they tested their first 50 megaton nuclear bomb, Cuban missile crisis and the attack on U.S.S. Liberty. I was the first CTM assigned to a boat as a regular member of the crew on U.S.S TRITON. The U.S.S. THRESHER went to sea on the same day the SEAWOLF did to check out all the special equipment I had installed on her. From what I was able to record on magnetic tape clearly indicated, she did not sink to the bottom as quickly as they announced to the public.
The Scorpion was lost off the coast of the Azores and initially everyone tried to search on her projected course. That is until one engineer who knew about the battery problem with the MK-48 torpedo realized they reversed course hoping to shut down the weapon. That was a standard procedure in dealing with a MK-48 gone wild. BuShips knew about the shorting problem with the battery just like a problem with the MK-14 during WWII and the slow process in coming up with a proper fix. It typically took such a disaster to get those civilian types off their dead asses and fix these kinds of problems.
I had a hell of a lot of trouble getting those same people to accept my concept and configuration for the AN/WLR-6 system until NSA and DNI went over their heads.
Now if you really want to know of a cover up by our government then look into actually what happened to the U.S.S. LIBERTY in June 1967? That was a cover up from the word go.
