Refitted S-4 Submarine Sunk by Tests at Sea
The navy towed the refitted hulk of submarine S-4 from New London to a location near Block Island for a crewless sinking test using new lifting hooks or dead eyes. The experiment aims to prevent future disasters like the loss of the undersea boat a year ago with 40 men. The test site is near the historic sinking ground where submarine 51 was rammed by City of Rome in 1925.
