the only piece of Thresher originally recovered.
imagine the entire giant sub was reduced to peieces of this sze for the most part. Death was instantaneous for the men. She was on a test dive, near maximun depth, a pipe sprange a leak. At the depth, the water vaporizes, ehich them condensed on an electrical panel, causing a short, which caused the reactor to SCRAM and shut down. With no power Thresher fell quickly below crush depth and violently imploded. Researching the failed pipe, the navy realized there was little to no quality control over parts, and strict measures were instituted. It is still the deadliest submarine disaster ever.
