USS Scorpion SSN 589

[Kapitan]

could she have been sunk by one of her own torpedos ?

or could the russians have sunk her ?

russian ships and subs were in the immediate area that the scorpion was lost and also unidentified noises were also found near the scorpion before she went down ?

what you think?

I say one of the MK37 torpedo batteries exploded flooding the boat.

[PeriscopeDepth]

Ditto.

[Konovalov]

I also supect it was the dodgy Mk37.

I think it was a giant squid.

I think it was a giant squid.But was it a communist squid? Maybe a KGB agent in a giant robot squid?

Admit it, it was a Soviet mind controlled squid from RA2 :up:

Didn't we have a thread on this a while back, someone had some good pics of the hull, and someone else was going to write a book about it.
I'll have to try and dig through the archives when I get back from work.
