	GovIntelligence.com - History - USS Scorpion
		USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was the sixth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the scorpion, (hence the Scorpius constellation on her insignia).
		She was so maneuverable and so fast that in Navy practice maneuvers, Scorpion could surface, attract the attention of surface warships, and then quickly disappear again and resurface miles away; when the surface ships participating in the maneuvers attempted to track her down, she moved into position for an easy kill.
		Relatively little has been published about the Scorpion, despite the loss of the 99 men who were aboard at the time of her sinking, and despite the fact that the boat contained a treasure-trove of highly sophisticated spy gear and spy manuals, two nuclear-tipped torpedoes, and her nuclear propulsion system.
