USS Scorpion (SSN 589) Search Operations - Phase II
The video below is a collection of pictures I took during June and July, 1969. They were taken at the location, in the mid-Atlantic, of the tragic Scorpion loss. I was the executive officer and navigator for the USS Apache (ATF-67), which is the ocean-going tug boat that towed the bathyscaphe USS Trieste (DSV-1), and her mother ship the USS Whitesands (ARD-20) from San Diego to the mid-Atlantic and back during what turned out to be a cruise that lasted over ten months.

The US Navy's Longest Ocean Tow
One of my assignments in the Navy included a little 10 month cruise from San Diego to the site of the USS Scorpion's sinking in the mid-Atlantic. I was the executive officer and navigator for the USS Apache, which is the ship that completed this 14,100 nautical mile tow. Here are a few pictures from our time at sea:
