'''USS ''Scorpion''''' (SSN 589) was a nuclear-powered submarine of the ''Skipjack''-class, and the sixth vessel in the [[United States Navy]] to bear the name; she also bears the distinction of being the second such submarine lost in as yet unclear circumstances in the [[Atlantic Ocean]] while returning home from deployment in 1968.
