In Memory of the ship's company in USS Scorpion
Francis Atwood Slattery, USN '54
Commanding Officer
On 5 June the families of the 99 men aboard USS Scorpion were notified that the nuclear-powered submarine was presumed lost and the crew members presumed to be dead. Prior to the announcement on of the most extensive sea searches in the Navy's history had been conducted by 39 ships since the submarine had last been heard from 21 May in the vicinity of the Azores. The Scorpion was alone when en route to her home base at Norfolk, VA., after completing exercises with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean.
The Naval Academy Alumni Association pays tribute to the entire ship's company and in particular to the nine USNA alumni who were part of that ship's company. To their families and to the families of the other officers and men the Association extends its most sincere sympathy.
