submarines in the bermuda triangle

 The victim of the Bermuda triangle: submarine

 May 21, 1968 year around midnight nuclear submarine “Scorpion” reported back to base in Norfolk for your coordinates. During this time she was near the Azores, returning home from the Mediterranean Sea, where it operated as part of the 6th fleet United States. This was her last post. The submarine disappeared.


The fate of nuclear submarines “Scorpion” is written quite a lot. As possible causes of death included sabotage, crew errors, collisions with sea mounts or technical malfunctions. The Board of inquiry was the report, but a secret, so neither l. Couchey nor other experts could not read it. It is only known that the cause of the accident was indisputably technical fault. The boat after intensive searches discovered in October 1968 at 600 km southwest of the Azores.

Her photographed from all angles and shots have confirmed that it is “Scorpion”. Hull was still intact, meaning the explosion on the boat. This catastrophe has nothing to do with the Bermuda triangle, as the boat was closer to Africa than to America. According to the encyclopedia of warships (Encyclopedia of Military Ships, Submarines, 6 vols., Baltimore, 1979), in the 70-Es in the Atlantic some shipwrecked submarines, such as the French “Minerva” and “Ev-ridika” and the Israeli “Dakar”. An American submarine “Grin ling Gibbons” in 1973, was on the verge of death from Bermuda (this time really in the Bermuda triangle). She has failed the depth gauge, and it plunged at a much greater depth than allowed its technical characteristics. Fortunately, the mistake was discovered in time, otherwise the water pressure would have crushed the boat and the legend of the triangle would have earned additional food.
