USS DACE (SSN-607) Permit (Thresher) class Cold War Attack Submarine in service 1964 to 1988

 

1970: USS Dace- After Dace (SSN-607) hit something that rolled her to one side, her men were almost certain they had bumped a Soviet sub also operating in the Mediterranean. Indeed, Naval Intelligence later learned that a Soviet sub later pulled into a port soon after with the kind of damage that would have been expected from a collision with another sub.
