Gentlemen,

This book is 100% unadulterated bilge written for no other purpose than to sell books. The author has taken half-truths, innuendos, & rumors and combined them with a healthy dose of supposition and guess work. Nothing he presents in the book is proof.

The Soviets may have been paranoid and fanatical, but they were not stupid. To risk an all out nuclear war by deliberately sinking a U.S. warship because of some broad based speculation would be insanity of the first magnitude.

The loss of the Scorpion was nothing but a tragic accident. Let these men rest in peace and allow their families to have the closure they have earned. Stop stirring up this crap.
