I still think it was criminal of the government there not to call on for international help sooner than they did. Some of the old pride takes a while to wear off. And Putin didn't leave from his vacation on the Black Sea for at least 4-5 days after the incident happened. Fortunately they did learn a lesson and asked for help in Aug 2005 when one of their minusubs was in trouble in the Pacific. With British and US help, all survived. I liked briefing that event better.

There are still theories that say one of her own Mk-37 torpedoes was the cause of SCORPION's loss with all hands, although that cannot be proven with any certainty. God Bless them all.

And how an incredible piece of engineering to some, a home to others, can be reduced to what we see here. Those on board deserved a more fitting end. Kind of has the same feel as the photos of the Oklahoma when they pulled her back over. May their souls rest in eternal peace. It is amazing the amount of destruction.

In the tiny frames of the post, most of that could be mistaken for the residue of my last remodeling attempt.......
