To the Crew of the USS Scorpion still on eternal patrol. Sailors, rest
your oars.
Bless them all, especially Rick Engelhart. http://www.txoilgas.com/589.html
I think of those guys a lot, but especially around this time of year.
Rick, my classmate at NPS, got the orders that could just as easily have been
mine...to the 589 boat He is still aboard. Didn't notice until just now, but I
only missed by ten numbers. They sent me to the 599 boat.
There is a Nova special on submarines that just won't go away. Every time I see
it, my blood turns cold when they get to the part about the Scorpion. They show
about a 3-second shot of the memorial service at New London. Never had time to
pick it out, but somewhere in that chapel sits a much younger me.
