Remembering Scorpion
Still on patrol, USS Scorpion (SSN 589)
There are no roses on a sailor’s grave,
no lilies on an ocean wave,
the only tribute is the seagull’s sweeps,
and the tears that a sweetheart weeps.

As a former bubblehead, it breaks my heart when any submarine American or Soviet sinks. Although they are the “enemy” there remains a commonality amongst all submariners.
