    583 - A fire devastates Constantinople in April, an earthquake strikes Constantinople in May and the Eurasian Avars reach the walls of Constantinople. All in all, not a great year for the Byzantine Empire.

    593 - The second USS Thresher (SSN-593) was the lead ship of her class of nuclear -powered attack submarines in the United States Navy. Her loss at sea during deep-diving tests in 1963 is often considered a watershed event in the implementation of the rigorous submarine safety program SUBSAFE.

    The contract to build Thresher was awarded to Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on 15 January 1958, and her keel was laid on 28 May 1958. She was launched on 9 July 1960, was sponsored by Mrs. Frederick B. Warder (wife of the famous Pacific War skipper), and was commissioned on 3 August 1961, Commander Dean L. Axene commanding.
