A trainee submariner by the name of Pat Barron had been on board the Stickleback at the time of the incident. In 2002, he talked about this experience with the SubmarineSailor.com. “I remember it was right before noon meal, we were submerged and we lost power and took a tremendous down angle and started going down. Emergency lights went on and shortly after that I heard them start blowing main ballast tanks,” he narrated.
