thresher

Another data point to imagine the depth: USS Thresher imploded at a depth of 1,300–2,000 ft.

The USS Thresher was lost at sea when it sunk below its test depth and imploded.

We know the actual collapse depth for an older sub: 730m for the USS Thresher (test depth: 400m), in 1963.

We joked that he should be careful when operating his homemade thresher with his remaining arm.

I hadn't heard of the USS Thresher before today, but I did just read a bit of the Wikipedia article.

The two USN nuclear submarines lost due to pressure-hull failures, the Thresher (1963) and Scorpion (1968) both failed at depths of 1,200 to 2,000 ft.

It is but one of a long string of sea bottom operations which include Project Azorian, the Thresher and Scorpion investigations, Palomares and probably much that remains classified.

I built a 5 gallon bucket thresher to use with a drill.

The Thresher eventually sank to 8400 feet.

As is pointed out in the article I linked elsewhere in the comments he should’ve remembered what he said about responsibility when the Thresher happened.

I'd be interested to hear about the bucket thresher.

You cannot prove the safety record of the US Navy running nuclear reactors is clean, especially considering the limited info available about the losses of the USS Thresher and the USS Scorpian.

The situation is absurd, and it's an utter waste of human capital to throw talented "low" class kids into the thresher.

The wheat is harvested by “combines” which are literally a combination harvester and thresher.

If the incident had been sudden onset of thick toxic smoke Pinpoint "seems reasonable" changes like that without regard for the whole system of interactions are what sank Thresher.

Originally it was known as a "combined harvester-thresher", which is maybe what you're thinking of, but that was soon shortened to "combine" and it has stuck ever since.

Take your time and follow the rules and you won't even be the cause of death for a hundred sailors like with the Thresher.

Any chance that non-tradition is related to loss of the Thresher?

And we do it at Thresher, I guess because it’s become a habit now.
