On the morning of April 10, 1963, on a test dive off the New England coast, the Thresher sent a message to a support ship above her on the surface: experiencing minor problem ... have positive angle ... attempting to blow. Then came the sounds of air under pressure ... and the sounds of a submarine breaking up. Polmer recounts the dramatic circumstances surrounding her implosion, which killed all 129 men on board, in history's first loss of a nuclear submarine." -- $c (Source of summary not specified.) 541 $d 20201119. 610 2 $a Thresher (Submarine : SSN-593.) 610 1 $a United States $b Navy $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 $a Nuclear submarines $x Accidents $z North Atlantic Ocean. 650 $a Submarine disasters $z North Atlantic Ocean. 941 $a 1 952 $l SWPB124 $d 20210205021714.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=39A45458678011EB971060AB21ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
