The order for the manufacture of the submarine was received by the Portsmouth shipyard on January 15, 1958, the laying of the ship took place in the same year, on May 28. Launching took place on July 9, 1960. The Thresher entered service on August 3, 1961.

On April 10, 1963 SSN-593 "Thresher", accompanied by the rescue vessel ASR-20 Skylark, set out to sea for deep diving in order to test the strength of the hull at the depths limit for the boat (360 m). In addition to 16 officers and 96 crew members, 17 civilian technicians were on board, sent to monitor the performance of its mechanisms during dives. There was a disaster.
