Sub Court Hears Malfunction List
A Navy court of inquiry at Portsmouth naval shipyard heard a list of more than a dozen malfunctions that plagued the submarine Thresher before sea trials on April 10 and its loss with 129 men. Lt. Raymond A. McCoole testified that the heavy corrective work reduced crew training in disaster procedures, though officials say the work was completed properly and the Thresher was in excellent condition before departure. The court’s proceedings continue behind closed doors to review classified information as Atlantis II prepared to resume search efforts for the sub.
