U.S.S. Scorpion SSN589 lost with 99 souls onboard, 46 years ago today!



A few years ago I learned of the USS Scorpion's fate through a book found at the dollar store bargain bin. Not being a sub sailor I spent most of my military reading about surface battles involving Destroyers.

Scorpion Down by Ed Offley is a fascinating read that explores the reasons, both official and speculative, for the sinking.



RIP to the crew lost all these years ago.
