Which vessel sank due to a piping failure in the saltwater system?

The USS Thresher (SSN 593) sank due to a piping failure in its saltwater system. This submarine tragically went down during a deep dive test on April 10, 1963, resulting in the loss of all 129 crew members. The investigation that followed revealed that a failure in the piping of the saltwater system, which was crucial for cooling the reactor, led to a loss of power and control. This failure compromised the submarine's ability to surface and ultimately resulted in the vessel sinking. The incident had significant implications for submarine safety and led to major changes in design and operational protocols in the U.S. Navy. The other vessels listed did not experience similar failures related to their saltwater systems leading to their sinking.
