Admiral and Captain Differ on Scorpion’s Surface Escape
A Naval court of inquiry heard conflicting testimony from Rear Adm. Batcheller and Capt. Kern on the Scorpion's ballast blowing systems. Batcheller cited a 1963-64 emergency ballast system found defective and prohibited, while Kern defended the regular system and said the sub had a full emergency recovery capacity at restricted depth. The Scorpion, returning from the Mediterranean, carries 99 officers and men and underwent overhauls at Charleston and Norfolk shipyards with sub safe provisions only partially completed.
