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

Bill 118 HRES 283, also known as the "Recognizing the 60th anniversary of the sinking of USS Thresher (SSN 593)" bill, was introduced in the US Congress to honor and remember the tragic event that occurred on April 10, 1963, when the USS Thresher, a nuclear-powered submarine, sank during a deep-sea diving test off the coast of New England. All 129 crew members on board lost their lives in the accident, making it the deadliest submarine disaster in US history.

The bill aims to recognize the 60th anniversary of this tragic event and pay tribute to the brave men who served on the USS Thresher. It highlights the importance of remembering and honoring the sacrifices made by members of the US military, particularly those who have lost their lives in service to their country.

The bill does not propose any specific actions or policies, but rather serves as a symbolic gesture of remembrance and gratitude for the crew of the USS Thresher. It emphasizes the significance of this event in US naval history and the need to ensure that the memory of those who perished is preserved for future generations. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 283 is a non-partisan effort to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the sinking of the USS Thresher and to honor the memory of the brave sailors who lost their lives in this tragic accident.
