If I recall correctly, “Blind Man’s Bluff” talks about the loss of USS Scorpion but not about the loss of the USS Thresher. I do not plan on commenting on the accuracy (if any) or flaws (if any) of “Blind Man’s Bluff” and its version of this story. The first rule of the Silent Service is you do not talk about the loss of Scorpion. The second rule of the Silent Service is you do not talk about the loss of Scorpion.

I believe that you’re referencing the Scorpion and its abrupt course reversal to attempt to disarm the torpedo.

How Sherry Sontag wheedled out all these stories is beyond me.
