April 10 will mark the 49th anniversary of the loss of the USS Thresher. A small group of submariners have dedicated themselves to preserving the memory of the Thresher and those lost with her. They call themselves Thresher Base and their website can be found here. They will be holding a memorial ceremony this year on April 14 at Traip Academy in Kittery, Maine.
If you happen to be near Portsmouth, NH on that weekend, you might want to attend.

Yep, good folks and there IS a need to remember those who went down on Thresher, and Scorpion, and all the others we've lost in 'peacetime'...
