Though know one will really know the exact cause of
the loss of the
Scorpion, it is believed she was lost due to a torpedo detonating inside
of the ship (like the Kursk).
I seem to recall reading that the cause of the Scorpion was
determined by the Navy but classified for some reason.
Of course any time a ship is lost under unknown circumstances
there are people that will either come up with their own reason
or assume that unknown=undisclosed/classified. Unfortunately
I can't remember if the article I read fell into the second
category.
