Recognizing the 60th anniversary of the sinking of USS Thresher (SSN 593).

This resolution (HRES 283) is a ceremonial House of Representatives measure recognizing the 60th anniversary of the 1963 sinking of the USS Thresher (SSN 593), which resulted in the loss of all 129 crew members. It honors the crew's sacrifice, notes the subsequent creation of the Navy's SUBSAFE safety program (which has prevented all subsequent losses of certified submarines), and expresses gratitude to all submariners. The resolution has no binding policy effect - it is purely commemorative.
