USS THRESHER (SSN 593) Lorfargram

I commanded SSN 612 87-90 and worked with your member Bruce Rule for many years on SCORPION and THRESHER acoustic detections. I sued the Navy for information of THRESHER. Bruce is no longer capable of helping us with SOSUS questions. A key question is could the FOX Array detect Thresher's Main Coolant Pumps in slow speed at about 50 miles. At 0911 10 April 1963 Thresher's MCPs stopped or were shifted to slow. The issue is Thresher's Naval Court of Inquiry report Exhibit 52 is not the one that Bruce Rule briefed the NCOI on 18 April 1963. We need an expert SOSUS person to certify that it is not. It has no Thresher signature, fast speed MCPs, and the beam was 70 degrees to the southeast where Thresher was to the southwest of the array. Our Volunteer THRESHER Reasearch needs a SOSUS expert to help us writing a book.
