USS Scorpion

Personally I think the Soviets sank the Scorpion. I read "Scorpion Down" and did a bit of searching on the net for more info. The fact they have never released all the pics of her hull and have censored some of them is interesting. Why would the Soviets tell the US what happened? Simple, the US caused the loss of a Soviet sub in the Pacific, the Soviets got even. They wanted us to know that they could kill one of our subs.
Alot of Americans and former sub crewmen don't want to admit that the Soviets could kill an American sub. Its bad for morale, and its a public relations nightmare.
