The second USS Thresher (SSN-593) was the lead boat of her class of nuclear-powered attack submarines in the United States Navy. Her loss at sea in the North Atlantic during deep-diving tests approximately 220 miles east of Boston, Massachusetts, on 10 April 1963 was a watershed event for the U.S. Navy, leading to the implementation of a rigorous submarine safety program known as SUBSAFE. Measured by lives lost, historic context and significance, the sinking of Thresher was then, and remains today, the world's worst submarine disaster. As the first nuclear submarine lost at sea, its disappearance generated international shock and sympathy.

  • The 3 year old sub sunk with 'all hands aboard' (that is to say all crew 129 died in or on the sub it's self) during some planned deep diving tests, 10 April 1963, 350 km east of Cape Cod and now lies on the sea bead at a depth of 8,400 ft. It had a complement of 16 officers, 96 men. and 17 civilian technicians.
