Photo #: NH 97219
Wreck of USS Scorpion (SSN-589)
"A mosiac of the sail of the Scorpion showing the
starboard side and starboard fairwater plane. Located at the
top center is the periscope fairing and masts protruding from
the sail. An access door is clearly visible in the center of
the picture. The white area is an area not photographed in this
mosaic."
Quoted from the original photo caption, which bears the date
30 January 1969. The photographs used to create this mosaic were
probably taken when Scorpion was located by USNS Mizar
(T-AGOR-11) in October 1968, on the Atlantic Ocean floor 10,000
feet deep, some 400 miles southwest of the Azores.
Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the
