Severed Bodies Discovered at Wreckage Site
The search turned out to be an emotional one, as there were gruesome discoveries along the way. Divers discovered a piece of wreckage that had the bodies of six submariners, radioactive enough that they were sealed in a steel container and buried at sea. This action also involved a full military ceremony. But, whether they had discovered any nuclear weapons are not, is still unknown to this day – remember a private salvage was commanded.

Mission USS Scorpion
The next sub to go missing was the American submarine, USS Scorpion. During that time, it was conducting a watch mission near the Portuguese Azores islands. She was commissioned to keep watch of Soviet naval activities, and after her mission was completed, she set sailing back to Norfolk, Virginia, where she based. If only these world powers could have united to tackle this incredibly wasteful mystery, then perhaps some light would have been shed.
