About

Story of the American submarine that sank in 1963. The USS Thresher, the USN's most modern submarine, was lost on trials after a refit.

In this study of what then was the most tragic submarine loss the author follows the ship from her design to her loss, only 625 days after she was commissioned. He then traces the exhaustive efforts to locate the Thresher and the inquiries and investigations that followed. The loss of the submarine has been described as one of the most embarrassing events in the USN's history.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
