On 10 April 1963, the USS Thresher sank during deep-diving tests off the coast of Massachusetts, killing all 129 crew and shipyard personnel on board. The loss of SSN 593 is the deadliest submarine disaster ever. #submariner #ussthresher #subsafe #submarine #usnavy (at Newport News Shipyard) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNfkuNnj7-9/?igshid=1ud84xaiakak0

On April 9, 1963, U.S.S. Thresher left Portsmouth, New Hampshire for sea trials, passing Whaleback Lighthouse. On the following morning, an extreme systems failure resulted in the sinking of the boat and loss of all hands. She is now on eternal patrol. #fairwindsandfollowingseas #RIP #ussthresher #submarine #usnavy https://www.instagram.com/p/CNd3vT6j_xz/?igshid=nma6ryz1462i

"Lest We Forget" On April 10, 1963, while engaged in a deep test dive, USS Thresher (SSN 593) was lost at sea, claiming the lives of all 129 people aboard the nuclear-powered submarine. Today, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation. Although Thresher was not built by Newport News Shipbuilding, its somber anniversary is a time to reflect on the importance of first-time quality in all that we do. #ussthresher #navy #submarine #history ™@huntingtoningalls
