"The final blow to the USS Klakring ... came from the newly commissioned submarine USS Massachusetts ... which successfully struck and sank the decommissioned frigate with a Mk 48 Advanced Capability Torpedo."

A decommissioned U.S. guided-missile frigate was sent to the bottom of the Atlantic on Sept. 25 during a joint U.S.-U.K. naval exercise.

Tomorrow will mark 63 years since Thresher's tragic end; on April 10, 1963 Thresher was doing deep-diving tests, along with USS Skylark (ASR-20), off the coast of Massachusetts.

The loss of Thresher eventually pushed the U.S. Navy to establish a quality assurance initiative two months later known as the Submarine Safety Program (SUBSAFE) which remains in use today.
