Klappentext At last! the truth about what happened to a doomed U.S. submarine On May 22! 1968! the U.S. nuclear submarine Scorpion was lost in the mid-Atlantic with its crew of 99. Was it sunk by the Soviets? Destroyed by its own torpedo? Flooded by a faulty trash disposal unit? The Navy claimed it found no cause for the disaster. Through vivid descriptions of the Scorpions final voyage! the astonishing discovery of the shattered hull! and the Navys efforts to unravel the mystery! Stephen Johnson unmasks the untold story of this tragedy. Using Navy documents! personal letters! and interviews with veterans of the submarine! he demonstrates that the Scorpions maintenance problems were more complex and troubling than the Navy has revealed.

He has been featured in documentaries about the Scorpion and other subs on Nova! the Discovery Channel! and the History Channel. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface. 1. Returning to Duty. 2.
