USS Nautilus (SSN-571) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was the world's first operational nuclear-powered submarine and the first vessel to complete a submerged transit across the North Pole. Nautilus operated in the Atlantic, conducting evaluation tests for ASW improvements, participating in NATO exercises and, during the fall of 1962, in the naval quarantine of Cuba, until she headed east again for a two month Mediterranean tour in August 1963. Nautilus celebrated the 50th anniversary of her commissioning on 30 September 2004 with a ceremony that included a speech from Commander Wilkinson, the first Commanding Officer of Nautilus, and a designation of the ship as an American Nuclear Society National Nuclear Landmark. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/USS_Nautilus_(SSN-571)   (1199 words)

Wikipedia: USS Nautilus The fourth USS Nautilus (SP-559) was a Motor Patrol Boat commissioned in 1917 and assigned to patrol and escort duty during World War I (contemporaneously with the third Nautilus). The first USS Nautilus, 12, was a schooner that served against the Tripolitan pirates and into the War of 1812.

USS Seawolf (SSN-575) Although fully armed, Seawolf, like the first nuclear submarine USS Nautilus (SSN-571), was primarily an experimental vessel. USS Seawolf (SSN-575), the third [[submarine of the United States Navy named for a solitary fish with strong, prominent teeth and projecting tusks that give it a savage look, was the second nuclear submarine, and the only US submarine built with a liquid metal (sodium) nuclear reactor. In 1963, Seawolf participated in the search for the lost USS Thresher (SSN 593) and in various local and fleet operations until April 1964. www.ebroadcast.com.au /lookup/encyclopedia/us/USS_Seawolf_(SSN-575).html   (1169 words)

Underway on Nuclear Power USS TRITON (SSN 586) was designed to be fast enough to operate with a fast carrier task force.One of the largest submarines ever built, Triton is 447 feet long, displaces more than 7700 tons submerged, and carries a crew of approximately 170. Mark I (Nautilus was known as STR Mark II) was built from the start inside a submarine hull, complete with a surrounding tank of water, on the assumption that it was a true seagoing power plant. The reliability of Nautilus’ nuclear propulsion plant was considered to be due in large measure to the experience gained in the construction and operation of the land prototype plant. www.jimcreighton.com /nuclear_power.htm   (3921 words)

USS Nautilus (SSN-571) USS Nautilus is arguably the most famous submarine in the world. Nuclear power enabled Nautilus to remain submerged for weeks at a time, as there was no need to surface and recharge batteries, wheras diesel boats were required to surface or snorkel every couple of days. Because of her ability to remain submerged for extended periods, Nautilus was chosen for "Operation Sunshine", the first crossing under the North Pole. www.geocities.com /CapeCanaveral/1056/nautilus.htm   (424 words)

Ships of the World: An Historical Encyclopedia - - USS Nautilus (SSN-571) On January 17, 1955, under Commander E. Wilkinson, USS Nautilus cast off her lines from Groton and signaled "under way on nuclear power." On her first voyage, to Puerto Rico, she sailed 1,381 miles in 89.8 hours, the longest submerged distance covered by a submarine to that time, and achieved the highest underwater speed. Nautilus's subsequent career included assignment as the first submarine with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean, and she was used extensively in the development of new antisubmarine warfare techniques, the old procedures having been rendered all but obsolete by the advances afforded by nuclear propulsion. Five years later she was opened to the public as part of the Nautilus Memorial and Submarine Force Library and Museum in Groton, Connecticut. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/ships/html/sh_063600_ussnautilus2.htm   (722 words)
