CDR H. J. Sweet III was commanding officer. DIODON prepared to get underway to WestPac in late Spring of 1967. However, one of the cylinders in Engine #1 was scored as she backed out into the stream at Pt. Loma Submarine Base, San Diego. Several weeks later the engine was totally overhauled on board.
