Last Look

On the morning Of The 10th,
at 6:23, Thresher came UP to
periscope depth 10 miles from
Skylark for a last look around.
She did not surface. The
submarine was in water rough
ly 5000 feet deep-ample and
10 spare (by q classified
amount) for all the work cut
out for her that day.
In the nighttime, after the
shallow tests off Boston had

Thresher set out eastward
across Georges Bank TO the
edge Of the continental shelf,
where the water deepens rap
idly. The escort vessel bobbed
along the surface. running in

marine snaked down across
the shelf through an undersea
gulch called Corsair Canyon.
