Effects of the USS Thresher disaster upon submarine safety and deep-submergence capabilities in the United States Navy
The loss of the nuclear-powered submarine USS Thresher (SSN 593) acted as a catalyst that accelerated improvements in submarine design, construction and operations. Such improvements resulted in a substantially safer submarine force, thereby making it more operationally reliable. The disaster also …
