...hearings continued, so did the search for Thresher. The oceanic research vessel Atlantis II dropped cameras to see if one of a half-dozen ocean-bottom sonar "protuberances" might be the hull of Thresher. The bathyscaph Trieste, capable of plumbing depths of 35,000 feet, arrived in Boston, from where it would be shipped to seek the submarine's grave. And, for whatever reassurance it might be to men who serve aboard nuclear submarines, Rear Admiral Ralph K. James, head of the Navy Bureau of Ships, said that his experts were reviewing the design of Thresher class submarines...
Thresher's departure caused little excitement around the shipyard. Behind her were nine months of overhaul and modernization. New electronic and sonar gear had been installed. To put in the intricate equipment, several holes had been cut in the boat's hull-the largest was a yard square, to make way for an improved garbage ejector...
...nuclear-powered class designed to run deeper (around 1,000 ft. down), faster (35 knots underwater), and more silently than any submarine ever built. Two other Thresher-type subs. Permit and Plunger, have since been launched, and 22 others are under construction. Thresher's teardrop-shaped hull had no flat surfaces; when venturing on her deck, crewmen wore special adhesive shoe soles. The hull was speckled with more than 1,000 tiny listening devices. She could travel 60,000 miles without refueling, stay out three months without support. The mission for which Thresher was built: to seek out enemy...
...Silence of Death. The water was 8,400 ft. deep, and Harvey began easing down in a series of 100-ft. descents. As is normal in such dives, increasing water pressure set up a cacophony of staccato pops and grinding groans in the sub's hull. Routine messages flashed to Skylark on the surface. At 9:17 came the last message. It was garbled. But communications with deep-diving subs are always difficult, and the men on Skylark felt little concern...
Since entering the NHL, the Black Hawks have not won the Prince of Wales Trophy for finishing first. They had their best chance this season when, with about ten games remaining, they held a commanding six point lead over the Canadiens and the Leafs. Bobby Hull stopped scoring. Glenn Hall started letting in goals. The defense became porous. The team fell...
