Let us not forget this date 54 years ago.
I was on Subbase when we got the word. The Base church bells rang all day. Where were you? |

I was on the USS Scamp SSN-588 in San Diego getting ready to head for Westpac five days later. We got underway with no answers as to her fate or location. We had previously been through the "destructive" testing range (slow motion cameras etc.) showing all the pipes bouncing around with the shock waves - there but for the grace of God we went.... Our A School classmate, Edgar Bobbit was not so lucky...

Wasn't the Scamp a sister ship to the Scorpion? It came to Pearl right after the Scorpion tragedy, I believe on the way to Westpac in '68.
