(457.4536) WISE-Amsterdam Several wires in a supply cabinet aboard the 360-foot submarine were found to have been cut during a routine inspection on June 12.
Federal agents from the Navy Criminal Investigation Service were conducting the probe, begun when a watch commander spotted a non-functioning indicator light. Upon examination, it was discovered that several wires in the supply cabinet behind the panel had been cut. A suggestion that it was sabotage was played down. "First, that assumes falsely that a human being did this and number two, a sinister motive. The investigation is still going on." How sabotage can be ruled out if the investigation is still going on is not known.
