There will always be those that are gullible.
The THRESHER pressure-hull imploded at 09:18:24 ROMEO Time Zone on 10 April 1963 at a depth of 2400-feet with an energy released equal to the explosion of 22,500 pounds of TNT at that depth. The crew died in less than 47 milliseconds. Minimum time required for human recognition of an event is 80-100 milliseconds.
"This UTUBE video is false, the SEAWOLF report the presenter is reading from is correct, but the final report certified it was false readings. SEAWOLF was confused by the active sonar and noise created by the destroyers and the diesel submarine SEA OWL searching for THRESHER on 11 April 1963, the day after she was lost. She mistook all sounds from the searching ships as banging on the hull and sonar pings from THRESHER. It was a mistake.
"The presenter is very wrong in much of what he says. He blames the Navy for not telling us the crew was alive for 24 hours. This video has already been removed from some submarine pages."
Bruce Rule was a Lieutenant at the time and was the analysis officer for the SOSUS Evaluation Center in Norfolk, Virginia; he analyzed the LoFARGrams and testified to the Naval Court of Inquiry. After leaving the Navy in September 1963, Rule spent the next 42 years as the lead acoustic analyst for the Office of Naval Intelligence.3 Key information from Rule’s LoFARGram analysis that was redacted from the released portions of the inquiry’s report includes the following points:
The Thresher ran main coolant pumps (MCPs) in fast speed until they stopped at 0911. If power from steam-driven ship’s service turbine generators (SSTGs) failed, slow-speed MCPs could run using power generated by the ship’s service motor generators. Fast-speed MCPs did not have this capability.
The Thresher’s MCPs gradually varied in speed up to 24 revolutions per minute (rpm) about five times over a two-minute period, from 0909 until 0911. This resulted from a change of up to four-tenths of a Hertz in the 60-cycle power supplying the fast-speed MCPs from the SSTGs.4
Since SOSUS did not detect blade rate (screw rpm), the Thresher did not exceed 12 knots.
Rule’s analysis of LoFARGrams from SOSUS stations as remote as Argentia, Newfoundland, and Antigua, British West Indies, produced a time-difference fix on where the Thresher imploded. This time-difference fix resulted in a four-by-eight nautical-mile ellipse, with the major axis oriented 040 degrees to 220 degrees true.
