I'm guessing that quite a few people here know about the USS Thresher, but maybe not about the outcome from that tragic accident....
This story originates with the mysterious sinking of the nuclear-powered attack submarine USS Thresher (SSN-593) east of Cape Cod on April 10th, 1963 and ends with a deep dive on a piece of submarine safety history off the coast of San Diego, California with a detour to Morro Bay Maritime Museum in-between.
It is a long but fascinating piece of U.S. Navy submarine safety history.
Below is a link to the blog post. I've also included a lot of pictures of Deep Throne.
Photo below is by Drew Wilson. I'm illuminating the structure with a couple Keldan video lights and taking photos.
Enjoy,
