Τι απέμεινε μετά από 'implosion'.
Πυρηνικό υποβρύχιο, 'most advanced', εκείνη την εποχή. 129 χάθηκαν.

'USS Thresher (SSN-593)sank east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 10 April 1963'.

Alliances, scandals, privateers, naval power for commerce, undeclared conflict, and stage setting for the next conflict… The Quasi War has it all and began 7 July 1798.
