Navy Still Lacks System To Save Trapped Sailors
The Navy remains without a global rescue system ten years after the Thresher tragedy. A testing plan will not be ready for the fleet until mid-1974 and global deployment by 1978 at earliest. Cost overruns and Vietnam-era budget pressures reduced the program from six small rescue submarines to two with a total price around 221 million dollars.
