Whereas U.S.S. Thresher was declared lost with all hands on 
April 10, 1963; 
Whereas in response to the loss of U.S.S. Thresher, the 
United States Navy instituted new regulations to ensure 
the health of the submariners and the safety of the sub-
marines of the United States; 
Whereas those regulations led to the establishment of the 
Submarine Safety and Quality Assurance program 
(SUBSAFE), now one of the most comprehensive mili-

Whereas SUBSAFE has kept the submariners of the United 
States safe at sea ever since as the strongest, safest sub-

Whereas, 
since 
the

of

no

Whereas the crew of U.S.S. Thresher demonstrated the ‘‘last
