The beginning of a new series - Last Moments, where we take a look at the ultimate fate of the USS Thresher and ask - what happens to you when you're trapped aboard a sinking submarine.
"The second USS Thresher (SSN-593) was the lead boat of her class of nuclear-powered attack submarines in the United States Navy. She was the U.S. Navy's second submarine to be named after the thresher shark.
On 10 April 1963, Thresher sank during deep-diving tests about 220 miles (350 km) east of Boston, Massachusetts, killing all 129 crew and shipyard personnel aboard in the deadliest submarine disaster ever. Her loss was a watershed for the U.S. Navy, leading to the implementation of a rigorous submarine safety program known as SUBSAFE. The first nuclear submarine lost at sea, Thresher was also the first of only two submarines that killed more than 100 people aboard; the other was the Russian Kursk, which sank with 118 aboard in 2000."

The 'turbulent' 60s was an amazing decade. In '68 they lost the USS Scorpion, too. But with the mystery of it's disappearance and the assassinations of RFK and MLK, and Vietnam, it was rolled into all the other bad news. We were still recovering from the Apollo 1 fire, too, as well as the civil rights problems.

Fun fact: Robert Ballard was contracted by the navy to inspect the wreck of the Thresher and document how the tractor was affecting the ocean around it. The cover story for the mission was that he was searching for the wreck of the Titanic. He finished the mission early and used the remaining funding and time to actually look for Titanic and when he found it for real the Pentagon was hella pissed because it was supposed to have been a top secret mission lol.

The physics of a hull implosion at 400 atm are truely fascinating. It involves the initial implosion creating temperatures of about 10000 degrees C, then a series of extremely rapid explosions and implosions until the heat is dissipated and equilibrium reached again. Being inside this zone of utter instant annihilation is beyond my comprehension. At the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the pressure is closer to 1000 atm !!!

I was a young man on the USS Tusk when we lost external hydraulics running submerged. We took a 47 degree down angle, passing test depth quickly as all hands started shifting to emergency lighting and hand power hydraulics during noon meal. all hands awake falling over each other momentarily as the mess decks really got messy. Battle lanterns turned on and vital instrumentation became illuminated as main battery circuits being brought back on line. Depth gauges pinned at max. In the dark, young diving officer from somewhere growled, "Oh $#@! it !, Blow Bow buoyancy, blow forward group. (Nothing happening) Blow manifold operator unconscious. Second command barely out of his mouth when mess cook just studying for his Dolphins found the right valves in the dark and blew the tanks in the right order just as the hull was groaning and creaking. No time to pee one's self until back on the surface. Young men working together in automatic saved each other's lives. No one quit. I'm happy to be here 58 years later. May the young of today work together so all will surface tomorrow.

Its a old submariner thing, because in the old times when they where lost in deeper water or far from base location of the wreck was basically impossible so the sub was listed as lost at sea, the crew as MIA and the patrol log, which had a copy on land, would have a departure, but not a arrival, thus being left with a patrol incomplete aka in progress.

Umm...no. You meant to say the Scorpion (SSN-589). The Snook (SSN-592) served until 1986 and was recycled in 1996 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Snook_(SSN-592). The only Snook incident I know of is when, during some cat & mouse maneuvers with a fleet, we cut behind too close to the stern of a patrolling destroyer (I think it was a destroyer). The destroyer was towing a STAS (sonar towed array) and our periscope snagged its tow cable (oops). The cable continued to pull the STAS which hit and broke the periscope. That collision also broke the cable and the STAS sunk to the sea bottom (double oops). I don't think it was ever found/recovered.

Unfortunately, this is exactly what happened. Likely at some point on Sunday or Monday. It was confirmed about an hour ago. I’m guesstimating Sunday or Monday strictly because of the known safety concerns that several people had regarding the structural integrity of the sub. There was even a lawsuit regarding the exact vessel back in 2018. My guess is that it imploded long before it’s approved test depth was reached. What a terrible tragedy.

Submarine qualified veteran here, you did a pretty good job explaining this overall. I was impressed you touched on the diesel effect. I was not on a Permit class boat (the thresher was a permit class) so I'm not very familiar with their layout. That being said, most submarines in the world are divided into "compartments" that are seperated with water watertight methods, their water tight door or doors were probably shut during the casualty. So one could assume that the boat did not perfectly implode all at once meaning that a fairly large portion of the crew (possibly half depending on where most people were during the event) could have heard what was coming and at least for a second knew it was over. In WWII American submarines sank 1392 Japaneese merchant and naval ships, however that came at a cost of 52 US submarines with a mean loss of about 60 men per submarine lost. Most boats (submariners call subs "boats") back then had a total crew ranging from 30 to about 75 (there were several classes of us submarines). You had almost a one in four chance of dying on an American boat. Nothing but respect for the men and the one woman on Eternal Patrol from any nation in the world.

The watertight doors wouldn't change a thing, it would implode at once, the water would instantly crush any space on the entire ship once hit crush depth. Fires are the scariest things on board a sub, it takes a small trashcan fire minutes to burn through usable oxygen on board. We had a fire in the laundry room when i was on the Tennessee. The lint traps are a deathtrap on those old boats. Idk how im still alive. Miss those days, the smell of amine. Its wierd lol

A fun fact about the USS Thresher, recently documents have been declassified about it's sinking and rescue operation. The USS Seawolf, another submarine, attempted to reestablish contact with the Thresher using their sonar and radio. Although it's all speculation, the Seawolf reported hearing 37 pings from the Thresher and several bangs from the inside of the Thresher's hull. Which means either the Thresher's crew died almost immediately and all of those noises were from other ships on the surface, or the Thresher's crew survived for 3 days before the submarine finally sank to crush depths. The latter is a horrifying thought, being trapped in a giant metal tomb that is slowly sinking further and further away from the surface.

I don't remember what the name of the sub was but he said you heard the groaning of the steel, you heard the dread in their voices, and you heard the violent implosion. It made them take their job very seriously.

They volunteered. They are the world’s best by far. They trust the ship and the maintenance they perform on her. God bless them. They do routinely what lesser men only dream about. Thank you my brothers.

Submariner here, nice to see you talking about the USS Thresher. For the final question about whether or not someone would die instantaneously from crush death would be, under my own understanding, yes. When a submarine reaches crush death, pressure that was acting outside the hull immediately effects the inside of the hull, which would compress all air pockets within that space. They would've all been compressed to death in less than a second. Fun facts: The USS Scorpion proves that Subsafe works, because although it sank, it wasn't under subsafe regulation...for some reason. Another fun fact: Another submarine suffered the same fate, the ARA San Juan. Same type of issue and everything.

Therefore, a cover story and civilians to lead the expedition were needed. The man they picked was Dr Robert Ballard, and the cover story was the search for the Titanic. That's right, finding the Titanic was actually a cover up. This was only declassified about a decade or so ago.

@Mykel Hardin It's the general technology in the sub's capability and construction. Both the Soviets and the US had submarines but they were built very differently and had very different advantages. For example, in WWII Germany had sophisticated sonar technology. After WWII the US spent considerable resources studying and improving upon captured German sonar tech and developed the Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) for tracking Soviet subs. From that the US developed means of keeping their subs quieter and more difficult to detect via sonar, which was a key advantage against Soviet subs. It took decades for the Soviets to catch up on this, and much of it didn't happen until a spy (John A. Walker) started leaking submarine tech to the Soviets. The Soviets capitalized on this and in the 1980s closed a major gap in the US tech lead with quieter and more efficient subs. Even with an imploded sub, there would still be intact chunks of hull, pieces of engines and turbines, torpedoes, etc. If the Soviets got to a wreck before the US they could have rapidly closed gaps in tech that the US would have spent massive funds and man-hours establishing, and likewise if the US managed to get to a Soviet wreck.

My friend from high school joined the Navy while I joined the Marine Corps. He scored well and was able to get an MOS in subs. He spent his entire Naval career in those subs and retired. I saw him at our 40th high school reunion and he had such amazing stories from his time in subs. I don’t think I could do that especially for 30 years.

USS Thresher had massive quality and design problems: during acceptance trials it was found that several important valves had been installed wrong way round. High pressure lines were badly soldered - and that were only the ones they could check. Thresher was not able to blow its balast tanks at test depht. It would have to go up a good way before the tanks could be vented. The reactor would shut down any time there is a problem. So when the sub needs all the energy to gain speed, to be able to get to a depht where it could blow its balast tanks, Thresher would actually lose propulsion and sink even faster. So what sank USS Thresher? The shipyard and its designers. The marine personal who let this design to be build.

These failures are completely normal on any system that complex. When you have a system made from thousands of sub-systems it is inevitable that some of those sub-systems (eg valves) will be incorrectly installed. Since a single small valve has between 37 and 54 parts, (16 flange bolts, 16 flange nuts, 16 flange washers, main body, packing nut, handwheel, upper seat, and lower seat) just for a simple manual one, and potentially many more for an electrically operated one, then the total number of parts runs to many millions. EG the ballast tanks alone can have two high pressure valves each, for air entering and the same again for air exiting. There are an absolute minimum of four ballast tanks on a submarine (often more like 16 including trim tanks) so the absolute minimum number of parts just on the ballast tanks for valves is about 592 and quite possibly 4 times that amount (assuming no gaskets or washers). Then you have the "Christmas Tree". The smallest I ever saw was 48 valves assuming no gaskets or washers that's nearly another 1800 parts just for valves. Then you have all the cross linking and bypass valves of which there are hundreds of the damn things. We will assume a very small submarine with about 200. That's another 7400 parts just for the valves. So we now have in excess of 9500 parts just for the valves on the ballast/trim system as a minimum. You of course then have to ass hundreds of individual pieces of piping, piping supports (6 parts each) the compressors and their ancilliaries, and you have well in excess of 30,000 parts for the simplest of ballast/trim systems onthe smallest of boats. Make those valves servo operated and you can nearly double that number. Then you have all the compressed air controls for the torpedo launch systems, and all the compressed air controls for the breathable air (with that systems separate compressors) and just in compressed air systems you have well over 100,000 parts.

The design of the EMBT blow system was extremely flawed on the Thresher. Before the accident, submarine design was focused on reactor plant design, not personnel safety...you can thank Rickover for that. After its sinking and the implimantation of the SUBSAFE program designs changed radically. For example...the EMBT blow piping going to the forward most ballast tank on the Thresher was 1/2" in diameter, not much bigger than the size of a mans finger. Today, each group of ballast tanks has its own pressurized dedicated bank with a large piping minimazing the distance. If you would like to discuss it further feel free. I engineer them for a living.

Based on the pre "Sub Safe" changes, the crew did everything they could. The critical issue here was the speed with which events happened. The loss of power impacted too many aspects of the Thresher, no mechanical backups. They never had a chance. Sub Safe & procedural changes have improved safety, but make no mistake, we are still at war with the soviets (what happens underwater, stays underwater!) - REMEMBER THE SCORPION!

Submariner here. Loved the video. In BESS, or Basic Enlisted Submarine School, I remember a long lecture about the Thresher where the instructor read out the last few transmissions. The audio was recorded, but I never heard it. Once a sub crosses the test depth threshold, there would be no noticeable changes, as the hull pops and cracks every time a significant depth change occurs. Even reaching crush depth, the boat may not immediately implode, as the condition of the pressure hull might allow the boat to survive somewhat longer. Once the implosion begins, it would be instantaneous. The only place that might be spared the initial implosion (might being the operative word) is the reactor compartment, due to its design, but no one would take refuge there anyway due to the fact that it contains a critical reactor. I had a conversation with an old, super salty sailor once, and he mentioned that on his first boat, they had a temporary near total loss of depth control, resulting in an excursion beyond test depth. While the boat obviously never made it to crush depth, they apparently got close enough that when they returned to port, the pressure had caused the outer hull to be compressed to the point that you could see the ribs of the vessel. I don’t know whether this story is completely true or not. Sailors of all stripes tell “sea stories” of varying truthfulness all the time. Still, it made me think. Hope this helps.

Indeed dude. My friend's Dad was a shift foreman on the maintenance deck of the Byford Dolphin oil drilling platform in the North Sea and was on shift that day in November, 1983 when the diving bell blew off and killed five men. He told us without being too graphic; "Hellevic (the diver who was trying to close the jammed door at the time of the breach) was about 80% tomato soup and most of his bones became wet chalk or like fine lime powder. He was jelly and the investigators that questioned us all when we got back to land all told us he was pulverised in about ¼ of a millisecond. We all saw the bodies before the rig went into shutdown procedures and cerfew." Keep in mind that this was the effects on the human body at only 9 atmospheres. The USS Thresher imploded with tens of thousands of tons of force at nearly 16 atmospheres. The entire crew would have been pulverised before they even heard the implosion or their brains were aware of it even happening. Instant death.
