So many valves were switched around during Thresher's overhaul that in one simulated dockside emergency, it took 20 minutes for the sub's crew to find the valve necessary to cut off the flow through a "broken" pipe. Yet in the actual diving conditions during which Thresher died, survival could come only with the crew closing off such a flow within seconds. »The air pressure system had been leaky.
