USS Scorpion

[Subnuts]

Perhaps Mr. Offley would like to come to this forum and explain how the Russians sank the Scorpion without incurring any visible sign of a torpedo impact upon her hull, or why the Russians would have told us they'd sunk her within days of doing so, or why the Russian submarine he theorizes did the deed was a slow, noisy cruise-missile carrier, and why he completely ignored all of the boat's mechanical troubles on her last deployment and the actual condition of the wreck, or how the boat wasn't completely flooded after being torpedoed, preventing it from imploding, or why he believes that a drum-paper recording constitutes a "smoking gun," or...

Well, you get the picture. Even if he could answer these questions, I'd never get the week of my life back I wasted reading this humilitating kick in the crotch of a book.
