When they hit a V.C. concrete bunker, the men of the 1st Cavalry slammed a wire-guided SS-11 missile designed for use against tanks into the bunker, knocked out the three V.C. snipers.

But for weeks a strange fleet of floating scientific laboratories has been cruising the choppy waters 220 miles east of Cape Cod, and this week the weirdest craft of all is being towed into range. The bathyscaphe Trieste is preparing to dive toward the spot that undersea snapshots have tentatively marked as Thresher's grave...
