Then came the sounds of air under pressure and a garbled message: . . . test depth . . .\n\nLast came the eerie sounds that experienced navy men knew from World War II: the sounds of a submarine breaking up and compartments collapsing.\n\nWhen she first went to sea in April of 1961, the U.S. nuclear submarine Thresher was the most advanced submarine at sea, built specifically to hunt and kill Soviet submarines. In The Death of the USS Thresher, renowned naval and intelligence consultant Norman Polmar recounts the dramatic circumstances surrounding her implosion, which killed all 129 men on board, in history's first loss of a nuclear submarine.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1493027530\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1493027530.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Polmar, Norman\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
