The Scorpion’s wreckage was found months later in the Mediterranean Sea

Scorpion was found well into the Atlantic, not the Med. My BS detector is going off.

It was about 200 miles outside of Gibralter, right? It was close enough I didn’t notice the difference, but you are right: Everything I heard, those waters are atlantic.

This author says the following on his web site: “What is known is that fifteen hours after sending its final message, the Scorpion exploded at 6:44 p.m. and sank in more than 2 miles of water about 400 miles southwest of the Azores.” He says elsewhere that the sub went down in the Atlantic. I think that it was the Panama City newspaper that got it wrong. Imagine that.

Well Panama City News Herald writer David Angier screw that...

The guy with the Russian did it theory, Ed Offley get's it right on his own web site

..."More than five months later, the Scorpion's wreckage was found on the ocean floor, two miles deep in the Atlantic."
