22 mei 1968: duikboot (US-atoom-) Scorpion verdwijnt
USS Scorpion verdwijnt spoorloos tijdens een lange onderzeese patrouille. Het wrak wordt later teruggevonden 500 mijl ten zuidwesten van de Azoren. De onderzeeër was in twee stukken gebroken. Waarschijnlijk is de onderzeeër tijdens een navigatiefout tegen een onderzeese berg aangevaren.
