    The Scorpion has been dived

    The Scorpion has been dived on 2 times I know of.
    National Geograpic is doing a thing on the Scorpion for this spring. They have contacted me on some things about it.
    There are not many photos of the Scorpion. Most of the photos of the wreck are still classified, even after all this time.

      Mark,
      Wayne is right, there isn't

      Mark,
      Wayne is right, there isn't much out there. National Geographic would have more current footage of the sites if the government lets them take footage and use it, as Wayne said most things dealing with the two boats are still classified. There is however some pictures on the Navsource website. Here are the links.




      I hope this helps.

        Thanks for the links

        I came across this web site called www.jmsent.com it is naval architects & salavage enigineers where they do visuals such as 3D computer animation that help illustrate complex engineering concepts to technical and non-technical.

        Some of the things they done are the ANDREA DORIA, U.S.S. SQUALUS
        LUSITANIA, and the U.S.S. SCORPION and others i just found this web site.
        On this site they show what went wrong with the ship or submarine
