In April, 1973 the USS GUARDFISH SSN-612 had a reactor leak at sea. The US NAVY and the DOD, along with the White House covered it up. Because of that cover-up the VA does not recognize that it ever happened.
Because the White House still says it never did.
The story of the accident has been in many news papers and even the Commanding Officer admitted it to the press after many years. The Navy PR Officer admitted it also to the press. But the Dept. of the NAVY, and the White House will not.
