#1: USS Stickleback, Sub sunk 1958 from collision found Author: BungarraLocation: Murchison region, West Australia PostPosted: Mon Mar 23, 2020 11:38 pm

The Stickleback went into an uncontroled dive during exercises and blew all her air into the ballsat tanks which brought her to the surface.....

Unfortunately only 100 mtrs from the destroyer USS Silverstein. Although avoidance measures were taken the collision could not be avoided.

Fortunately all the crew were rescued but the Sub holed amidships could not be kept afloat.
