SSN-593, more commonly known as USS Thresher, was a sight to behold. A nuclear-powered attack submarine comprising the latest technology and the finest engineering. She was a force to be reckoned with. Able to travel faster and further than a conventional sub, USS Thresher was only limited by the rations on board and the needs of the crew. Named after the Thresher shark due to its characteristic shape and ability to seek out and destroy, the Navy's newest submarine could travel deeper and more quietly than any other underwater vessel making it nigh on impossible to detect. Its revolutionary sonar system was the most comprehensive detection system ever devised for a submarine.

USS Thresher had served the US Navy before but in 1962 it was hauled out of the water and sat in Portsmouth shipyard in New Hampshire. There, it went an extensive overhaul. Panels were sealed closed, piping connected, and dials and equipment trialled. She was lowered into the water, held fast by cables and the propeller was tested.
