FILE - In this July 9, 1960 file photo the 278-foot (82 meters) long nuclear powered attack submarine USS Thresher, a first in its class boat, is launched bow-first at the Portsmouth Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine. A Navy submarine that left a Connecticut base this week is carrying the ashes of a veteran to be buried at sea near the site of the USS Thresher's sinking. For half a century Navy Capt. Paul "Bud" Rogers struggled with feelings that it should have been him and not his last-minute replacement on the doomed voyage. (AP Photo, File)
