		Yet it was the diminutive (5 ft. 5 in.) Rickover who first grasped the potential of nuclear power at sea and who tugged and cajoled a reluctant Navy to develop and install reactors in submarines.
		Rickover believed the Navy could extend its reach and free itself of the need to refuel ships if nuclear power plants could be squeezed into submarines' tiny hulls.
		Rickover's work eventually spawned not only the first nuclear-powered sub, the Nautilus, launched in January 1955, but the first civilian nuclear power reactor, at Shippingport, Pa. Today more than 150 of 554 U.S. naval vessels steam under nuclear power; American submarines can stay submerged for months and traverse the waters beneath the polar ice caps.
