USS Thresher (SSN-593), lead ship of her class, was lost on April 10, 1963, during post-shipyard sea trials. The loss of the Thresher (believed to be the result of a chain of events beginning with a pipe joint failure and frozen air lines) led to the SUBSAFE Quality Assurance program, as well as re-engineering of critical systems and emergency procedure changes.

Was the scorpion a nuclear submarine?
USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was a Skipjack-class nuclear powered Fast-Attack submarine, based out of Norfolk, VA. She was one of only 2 nuclear powered boats the U.S. has lost, the other being USS Thresher (SSN-593).Scorpion was lost while on her way home from deployment near the Azores in 1969. While many theories have been presented, the word in the submarine community, as well as post-accident procedure changes, indicated she was sunk by a hot-running Mk-37 torpedo that started up during electrical tests in the torpedo room. It's believed the boat failed to execute a 180° maneuver to initiate shutdown (fail-safe device) prior to weapon arming and detonation. While we in the submarine community knew about this years ago, the information wasn't publicly declassified until the 90's that gave the public the first indications that the event was a result of a torpedo accident.Post accident procedures changed the way torpedoes are now electrically checked; they must be inside a torpedo tube in case of a hot-run event, so they can be ejected if necessary. To date, no Mk-48 series torpedo has ever had a hot-run event or accident since the changes.

Where was the location of a nuclear accident that pumped 50 times more radioactive material into the environment than the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined?
Chornobyl or Chernobyl, is categorized as a city in northern Ukraine, in Kiev Oblast Province, near the border with Belarus. The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. It is the worst nuclear power plant accident in history and is the only level 7 event on the International Nuclear Event Scale. The effects of the disaster at Chernobyl were very widespread. The World Health Organization found that the radiation release from the Chernobyl accident was 200 times that of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombs combined. The fallout was also far-reaching. For a time, radiation levels in a Scotland were 10,000 times the norm. 30 lives were directly lost during the accident or within a few months after it. Many of these lives were those of the workers trying to put out the graphite fire and were lost from radiation poisoning.

why was the submarine warfare important?
The submarine started as an important way to isolate England from supply convoys. As a submarine could slip up on a convoy unseen and launch a torpedo it also had a similar effect as the modern day sniper, causing fear among the ships not hit. As Anti-Submarine Warfare was more and more successful the submarine lost it's value. During the Cold War its importance was to resurge as a platform to launch nuclear missiles and to hunt the large missile subs or Boomers as they were called. There are some who have gone as far as to attribute the fact that there was never a nuclear exchange between the USA and the USSR to the fact that each side knew that the submarines would launch a counter-strike.
What is the probability of a lost or abanoon dog getting found?
A similar situation occured when a submarine was missing in the ocean. An initial grid was made with estimations how likely it was the submarine got lost in each grid segment. A second grid got made with estimations how likely it was the submarine could be found in each grid segment, if the submarine was indeed lost in this segment. A third grid made combining the first two grids to calculate the probabilities of each grid segment how likely it is to find the submarine in this grid. Based on these probabilities, they started searching in those grid segments where the probability was the highest. The submarine got found. One could make a similar set of grids for trying to find this dog.
