Today, April 11, is the anniversary of the founding of the US Navy’s Submarine Fleet! for one hundred and twenty-three years, US Navy Submariners have carried on the traditions and training of the worlds finest underwater warriors. When the Battleships were stuck in the mud of Pearl Harbor, the Submarines carried the attack to the Empire of Japan. when Missiles piled up on Cuba, US Submarines made it clear to the Soviets, “You Shall not pass!” It’s not well known, but the first shots taken at Saddam – both times – were launched from US Navy Submarines.
For all the glory and all the accomplishments, there is still, great pain.
Yesterday, April 10, 1963, The countries newest and most technologically advance nuclear submarine, vanished will all hands off the coast of New England. One hundred and twenty nine souls went to the depths that day, and now, sixty years later, we still do not know what actually happened.
