Message: [QUOTE="Viper1, post: 276801, member: 193"] An old USN Master Chief lives near me and was assigned to that Sub but left before it went down. He was then assigned to the SCORPION, completed his assignment there and then moved on to another submarine before the SCORPION too was lost in 1968. He is forever haunted by the loss of two subs and shipmates but stayed 30 years in the Navy because he believed in the safety changes and the reforms. It is amazing how far we've come and may we always remember those brave men who pushed the edges of science and technology, knowing the danger they faced for being the first men on a new type of submarine.
