"Ever read "The THRESHER Disaster"? Her Reactor Control Officer, LCDR McCoole (then a LT) was pretty outspoken on the shabby work done on her at Portsmouth."Yes, I remember very well all of the heat the yardbirds took over the Thresher and the subsequent "investigations" that took place and all of the finger-pointing because of the "poor workmanship."

A friend of the family was a yardbird at EB when THRESHER went for permanent repair following her damage by a tug at Port Canveral. He said the same thing about all the problems THRESHER had with PNSY workmanship. I felt that he was being honest, but wasn't sure how much rivalry between EB and PNSY figured into it.
