Sinking of USS Scorpion: History, Fact, and Fiction

The nuclear sub Scorpion was lost with all hands in the North Atlantic over 50 years ago. A months-long Navy inquiry gave no cause in a heavily-redacted report: long on possibilities, short on evidence. Some possibilities were thought more plausible than others, but in historical Silent Service tradition these were not discussed, and the initial conclusions remain official. So theories filled the information vacuum over the years, from warhead detonation in the torpedo room to premeditated Russian ambush. This recalls the history of the sinking and investigation against the Cold War backdrop and the associated technology race, predominant theories and relevant data, and makes conclusions regarding the most likely cause. Presented by Capt. Mark McDonagh, USN/ret., a submarine officer with 12 years’ experience at the Naval War College and with BS and MS degrees in physics, now on the NSDMG staff.
