The Groundbreaking Submarine That The United States Navy Is About To Unveil

Then, in August 1963, Grayback was forced to face the consequences of her years of duty. At one point during that month, the submarine was trapped in severe waves when she sailed near the surface to replenish her batteries. The sheer force of such powerful waves produced a failure in the main battery, which culminated in a fire engulfing the crew’s sleeping quarters and destroying the ship. It is believed that one submariner perished in the event, while five others were wounded. The Grayback, on the other hand, was back in action after only a couple of weeks in the shop for repairs.
