May 22, 1968: USS Scorpion (SSN-589) nuclear powered sub was lost with all hands - 99 crew. This is one of the last known photos of the submarine. It was taken by USS Tallahatchie County near Naples, Italy on April 10, 1968 just prior to the Scorpion departing on her final voyage. CDR Francis Slattery is visible atop the sub's sail.

Commander Slattery's last received message was that he was closing on the Soviet submarine and research group, running at a steady 15 knots at a depth of 350 ft "to begin surveillance of the Soviets."
At the end of October 1968, the sub was located some 400 miles southwest of Azores in the North Atlantic Ocean at the bottom, 9,800 ft down, imploded.
Theories about the loss:
1. Hydrogen explosion during battery charge
2. Accidental activation of torpedo
3. Explosion of torpedo inside sub
4. Malfunction of trash disposal unit
5. Soviet attack
The crew left behind 64 widows and 99 children. Some wives, pregnant at the time, later gave birth, adding to the number of children who lost fathers.
Luella Violetti still sobbed last August when she talked about her son, Torpedoman Robert Paul Violetti. In poor health at the time, Mrs. Violetti died a month later, "still expecting Robert to come through the door," said her daughter, Anne Pierce of Broomall, Pa. "My mother always believed my brother would come home." The son's life intertwined with the Scorpion twice.
As an 11-year-old Boy Scout, Violetti went with his troop to watch the launching of the Scorpion Dec. 29, 1959. He later joined the Navy and was assigned to the Scorpion July 31, 1967.

Stranger things is that three other submarines disappeared in 1968: the Israeli submarine INS Dakar (found 31 years later at a depth of 9,800 ft), the French submarine Minerve (disappeared two days after the Israeli sub), and the Soviet submarine K-129. All sank with unknown causes.
May 24, 1974: THE CHOSEN SURVIVORS was released. A group of diverse individuals are suddenly taken from their homes and flown via helicopter to a futuristic bomb shelter in the desert, 1,758 feet underground. There, they learn that a nuclear holocaust is taking place and that they've been "chosen" by computer to survive in the shelter in order to continue the human race. The shelter is designed to allow the people to exist underground comfortably for years, but they are faced with a threat nobody could have predicted: a colony of thousands of bloodthirsty vampire bats finds a way into the shelter and launches a series of vicious attacks where they claim the humans one by one.

Punishment Drills is a dark, foreboding title. However, China's main goal over the next two days will be to disrupt the status quo in and around Taiwan Strait even more. Taiwan continues to be squeezed and I'm betting this will continue over the summer months.

The Starshield program is led by former 4-star general Terrence O'Shaughnessy who previously ran NORTHCOM & NORAD, and just prior to that he was Commander, Pacific Air Forces; Air Component Commander for U.S. Pacific Command. You remember that general, right? This was on his watch and he received another star going directly to NORAD. Crazy times.
