	USS Scorpion (SSN-589) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was the sixth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the scorpion, (hence the Scorpius constellation on its insignia).
		On 5 June, Scorpion and her crew were declared "presumed lost." Her name was struck from the Naval Vessel Register on 30 June.
		The nuclear warheads of these torpedos are part of the environmental concern, but the Navy believes that the heavy and insoluble plutonium and uranium cores of these weapons remain close to their original locations inside the torpedo room.

	USS Scorpion (SSN589)
		USS Scorpion SSN589 was launched at Electric Boat Company on December 19, 1959 at 11:45 A.M. The Scorpion was the eight nuclear powered submarine to be launched by Electric Boat Company and the third to slide down the ways during 1959.
		USS Scorpion SSN589 was lost in May of 1968 and on 28 October the Navy found her shattered remains in more than 11,000 feet of water approximately 400 miles southwest of the Azores.
		Shortly after Scorpions acceptance by the Navy the USS Skipjack was supposed to partcipate in a NATO exercise but due to mechanical problems could not make it and Scorpion was scheduled in her place.

		The Scorpion and the Thresher are the only two American nuclear submarines lost in 40 years of nuclear submarine operations and the only submarine mishaps since World War II that caused the loss of all hands.
		Had the Scorpion survived her final voyage, she, too, was scheduled to receive a full overhaul along with her submarine safety systems retrofit at the same time, according to Navy records.
		Last May, the Chronicle reported that the Scorpion had been denied scheduled work before its last mission and was one of only a handful of submarines not equipped with a submarine safety system developed after the loss of another nuclear submarine, the USS Thresher, in 1963.

	New York State Fossil (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		New York's state fossil, the sea scorpion Eurypterus remipes, was a formidable predator amongst the coral reefs that thrived in the warm, shallow sea that covered the state during the Silurian Period, around 410 million years ago.
		Sea scorpions or eurypterids are an extinct group of arthropods (related to modern insects and crustaceans) that were common during the Paleozoic Era.
		Although Eurypterus remipes is not as common as some other New York eurypterids, its distinction as the first sea scorpion ever discovered led to its adoption as the state fossil in 1984.

		But in fact, the Scorpion at the time it sank was at the center of a web of espionage, high-tech surveillance and a possible Cold War military clash that resulted in an alleged agreement by both the United States and the former Soviet Union to cover up the full accounting of what happened.
		Shortly before the submarine USS Scorpion sank on May 22, 1968, killing its 99-man·crew, U.S. intelligence officials learned that a group of Soviet warships operating in the Atlantic possibly knew that the sub was on its way to spy on them.
		Several dozen wives and families of the USS Scorpion crew gathered at Pier 22 at the Norfolk, Va., Naval Station, awaited the sight of the submarine returning from a three-month deployment to the Mediterranean.

	Sea Scorpions (The Eurypterids)
		The "sea scorpions" are not true scorpions, but they are related to them.
		The sea scorpions were members of the phylum Arthropoda, the same group that our modern insects, spiders, centipedes, millipedes, crabs, lobsters, crayfish and horseshoe crabs belong to.
		Within the arthropod phylum, sea scorpions are further assigned to the class Merostomata, of which the horseshoe crabs are the only extant (still living) members, and the order Eurypterida.

		Montgomery gradually comes to believe in the presence of this "scorpion in the sea" and engages in a battle to convince his superiors to confront the ugly truth; which (combined with the fact that he's having an affair with his commanding officer's wife) quickly leads to his being labelled a madman and/or a major troublemaker.
		The book is most convincing when it delves into the nuts and bolts of life at sea (which the author clearly loves), and especially the technical details of anti-submarine combat -- I particularly liked the way in which older technology is proven to be better than the latest super-weapons in this case.
		In addition, Scorpion is quite revealing about the confusion inherent in a peacetime military, especially the tension between the status-obsessed paper-pushers that normally keep the shop running, versus the decisive hotheads that really go out and win battles but don't easily fit into a huge bureaucracy.

	USS SCORPION (SSN-589) - Fast Attack Nuclear Submarine
		The conclusion of the earlier surveys was that SCORPION had not had a significant effect on the radioactivity in the environment.
		The purpose of the monitoring in 1986 was to identify whether radiological conditions had changed and to demonstrate the use of improved sampling and navigation equipment deployed from both a surface ship and a deep ocean submersible.
		Thus, in the event of a serious accident where the reactor is completely submerged in sea water, the fuel elements will remain intact for an indefinite period of time, and the radioactive material contained in these fuel elements should not be released.

		This “sea scorpion” was a terrifying predator of the Silurian (~ 430–415 million years ago), hunting the trilobites and cephalopods living in sea covering most of North America.
		During the late Cambrian and Ordovician, sea level rose, covering the state with a shallow sea.
		The sea covering the western part of the state had become extremely shallow and salty, and rapid evaporation led to the formation of Silurian-age salt deposits.
