It was the year 1963, and the star of the U.S. Navy submarine fleet USS Thresher had just sunk. 129 crew members were reported dead and it would be one of the most embarrassing military failures of the decade but the events that took place would remain a mystery till the year 2020.
While the world knew about what happened, there was very little information on what really went down. The government had drawn a grey curtain on the incident and the little that was released was mutilated and redacted.
