USS Scorpion probably victim to a circle running torpedo, manafacturers of the torpedo did release a warning and craven who investigated and found scorpion believes this a strong possibility.
At the time of scorpions dissapearence the russians only had a few submarines capible of sneaking up on an american submarine without being noticed, i doubt it would have been a russian submarine.
