The Kratz home is in Charles

Papa Kratz is finding it quite
a job to keep up with his boy in

month, brought home his first
winner at Atlantic City last
August. Since then he had
had another 70.

year after finding it rather
easy at the two Charles Town

II could probably get more
winners at the small tracks but

because the pay is better if
you can ride winners"

car is remembered aroun d
Waterford, Conn.,, as a god
send. A friend recalls that "his
old :alopy was falling to pieces
and on a lieutenant's pay Har-
vey had scant prospects of re-
placing it. Irene Harvey was
delighted with the stole, and the
two boys, then 4 and Z, were q
little young for trains but cap
tivated all the same.
Wes Harvey's own special toy
was the motorbike. HE used
to ride it around Waterford,
proud as punch" an acquaint-
ance says.
Thresher In Drydock
Harvey left his family at
Waterford rather than move
them to Portsmouth, because
Thresher was due to move to
New London after refitting and
sea trials. He found the SUBJ
marines overhaul work some
what more than half done, but
running two months behind
normal schedule, when he re-
ported aboard.
Thresher had gone into dry
dock in mid-1962 for a post
Shakedown availability overhaul
which all new ships get, and to
have her already highly ad-
vanced sonar system upgraded
This improvement included in
stallation Of more than 1000
tiny electronic gadgetS on the

DISASTER IN THE DEEP
Overhaul Is MeticuIous Art

outside Of the pressure hull,
each gadget an ear through
which the silent ship could
blindly sense any movement
through waters for many miles
around.
Axene and Garner briefed
Harvey on work progress. Un-
doubtedly they discussed the
quality Of work-a matter Of
vital interest to submariners-
and probably they disparaged
the workmanship, as subma-
riners have a way Of doing.
They certainly must have dis
cussed scheduling, in view of
the fact that a normal six or
seven-month overhaul was
stretching out to nine months.
Also, they must have con-
versed about topside pressures
to get Thresher back to sea.
The Navy has stated officially
since Thresher's loss that no
undue heat was on either ship
yard or crew to meet a dead
line. Surviving relatives and
shipyard workers, however, say
there was plenty Of heat to
get Thresher tested and to New
London by late April.
Many Work Requests
Harvey learned that several
hundred "weeps" had been
written on Thresher after her
last shakedown cruise off
Florida in mid-1962. A weep
is a work request from a crew
to a shipyard describing a de-
ficiency noted or a modifica-

Thresher had been to her home
port. where she was a member
of Capt. Frank A. Andrews Sub
marine Development Group 2.
It was later Andrews sad duty
to scour the area off Cape Cod
for the vanished Thresher.
The first time ThreSher went
to New London was for 35 days
in the spring of 1862 for some
thing described only as special
work."
But Thresher was regarded
primarily as a Portsmouth ship,
intimately connected with the
Navy's oldest shipyard. Her
keel was laid there in 1858, she
was launched there (unprece-
dentedly. bow first) In 1860, she
was commissioned there in 1861,
returned there in 1862 for re-
fitting. and in 1868 she left
there on her last cruise.
Critical Of Work
Throughout the early months
of 1868, work went on under
the critical gaze Of Harvey,
Garner and the 80-odd others
in the crew. Shipyard workers
regard submariners as naggers
and inconsiderate critics dis
satisfied even with perfection,
Submariners look on shipyard
workers as careless, inefficient,
The overhaul of Threshe1
obviously was no exception to
this rule. The only Thresher
officer who did not sail with
her subsequently charged wide
spread deficiencies in work
done at Portsmouth. AT least
20 per cent Of all the valves in
the hydraulic system operated
backwards so that when the
closed switch was thrown the
valves opened, and vice versa,
1t. Raymond A. McCoole said
Later, a shipyard officer denied
this implication Of careless
work.
McCoole also said, in testi-
mony before the naval court OF
inquiry a week after ThresheI
sank, that the periscope control
was rigged wrong, so that per-
forming the maneuver normal
to raising it would cause it to
lower, and the other way
around. This would not cause q
ship at test depth to sink
however.
A second crew member, an
enlisted man beached at the
Evening star., 1963-05-14

time of the last cruise for what
was described as a nervous
condition, said the ships big
and vital air circulating system
had had q spike left in 1t, ap-
parently through carelessness.
Accepted as Fit
Reports Of shabby workman
ship were so widespread in the
Portsmouth (N.H0 area that
the day after the disaster q
local newspaper felt moved to
admonish editorially against
rumor mongering. Already
questions are being asked about
the quality Of workmanship at
the shipyard, as If some evi-
dence Of ineptitude or neglect
might not be found to explain
the Thresher's fate" the edi-
t0rial said.
Whatever the merits or de-
merits Of workm a n h ip,
Thresher was in fit condition
to sail on April o, at least to
the satisfaction Of its meticu-
lous skipper. He signed all the
necessary clearances. his divi-
sion officers approved all the
work, he reported to group
headquarters in New London
that there we're no material
readiness deficiencies aboard.
The civilian foremen who had
supervised the work Of crews
and who might conceivably
have known something con-
cealed from Harvey-apparent-
ly thought Thresher was safe
to go. too. At any rate, about
a dozen Of them were aboard
when she cast off from Ports
mouth. outward bound on her
final trip.

ton desired. Before Thresher
left Portsmouth on her final
journey, 875 weeps were
processed, all but five ire
portedly minor and not involv-
ing ship safety satisfactorily
handled.
"This is q large number Of
weeps, but not unusually large, F."
Capt. c. ]. Zurcher, nateriel
and logistics officer for Atlantic
Fleet submarines, said at New
London recently. "A ship as
complex as this always has a lot
Of weeps when 1t gets to port"
Nuclear submarines have been
linked In complexity to the
giant aircraft carrier Enter
prise. and some carry as many
as $4,000 separate items in
their on-board repair kits when
they head to sea.
Some Of the weeps were tri-
vial, as many always are. Paint
ing the wardroom is a weep;
screwing a coat hanger onto the
wall, or moving 1t up higher. is
q weep; recalibrating the ther-
mostat that keeps water hot
in the scullery sinks is another
But many were vitally con-
cerned with the operation OF
the ship, and some can be said
to have involved the vessels
safety.
Thresher had been subjected
to what the Navy describes as
shock tests In sea trials off Key
West. Fla, just before going to
Portsmouth. These tests are
represented as carefully con-
trolled underwater explosions
designed to check gear mount
ings inside the hull. The dam
age was trivial.
Tug Gashed Hull
This was not the first time
Thresher had been in a ship
yard since her 1861 commits
sioning. On June 8, 1862, at
Port Canaveral, Fla, she suf-
fered a three-foot cash in q
non-pressurized portion of her
hull from a tug nudging hel
into a pier. Comdr. Axene
then the skipper, describes the
damage as unimportant. He
took Thresher out to sea, sub
merged her, and ran from Port
Canaveral to New London ir
two days, putting in at Electric
Boats shipyard for a three-day
patch job.

In the nuclear Navy 1t is
not unusual to entrust $45 mil
lion worth Of Government prop
erty and the lives Of more than
100 men 70 a young lieutenant
commander.
John Wesley Harvey, at 35,
was a graduate Of both the
United States Naval Academy
and the Rickover College of
Hard Knocks, presided over by
that peppery, tyrannical indi-
vidualist, Vice Admiral Hyman
G. Rickover.
Comdr. Harvey had been in
"nukes" just six months short
of ten years when he took
Thresher (SSN-593) on her last
dive on April 10. He had been
reactor control officer Of Nauti-
lus, the first atomic sub, and
had gone steadily up the ladder
chief engineer in Tullibee, ex-
ecutive officer in Seadragon.
Finally, last January 18, he re-
ported aboard Thresher in dry
dock at Portsmouth Naval Ship
yard in Kittery, Me-, to take
over command for the ships
first skipper, Comdr. Dean Ak
enc.
A Man to Watch
Comdr. Axene left Thresher
to take command Of the big
gest sub ever built, the 1000
ton Polaris missile ship Lafay-
cite. Like Comdr. Axene, Har-
vey was a man to watch, a
potential admiral.
Another conner in the under
sea service was Harvey's execu-
tive officer, Pat Mehaffy Gar
ner, also q lieutenant COM
mander. Garner had come into
the submarine service through
Naval ROTC at Vanderbilt Uni
versity, where he won a degree
In psychology. He had arrived
aboard Thresher three months
before the new skipper, also
during her long stay in the
Portsmouth yard.
Both men were married, had
families, and lived in the New
London area, where Thresher
was nominally assigned. They

ulous, highly motivated men
