The search continued, however; and, at the end of October, the Navy's oceanographic research ship, [USS Mizar]? (T-AGOR-11) located sections of Scorpion's hull in more than 3,000 meters (10,000 feet) of water about 650 kilometers (400 miles) southwest of the Azores. Subsequently, the Court of Inquiry was reconvened and other vessels, including the submersible ''Trieste''? were dispatched to the scene and collected a myriad of pictures and other data.
