A must-read for submarine buffs! On the morning of April 10, 1963,
the world's most advanced submarine was on a test dive off the New
England coast when she sent a message to a support ship a thousand
feet above her on the surface: experiencing minor problem . . .
have positive angle . . . attempting to blow . . . . Then came the
sounds of air under pressure and a garbled message: . . . test
depth . . . Last came the eerie sounds that experienced navy men
knew from World War II: the sounds of a submarine breaking up and
compartments collapsing. When she first went to sea in April of
1961, the U.S. nuclear submarine Thresher was the most advanced
submarine at sea, built specifically to hunt and kill Soviet
submarines. In The Death of the USS Thresher, renowned naval and
intelligence consultant Norman Polmar recounts the dramatic
circumstances surrounding her implosion, which killed all 129 men
on board, in history's first loss of a nuclear submarine.
