	Nimitz, The Submariner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Nimitz stood seventh out of 114 in the class – definitely a “star” man – and his first orders were no different from those of his classmates; he went to the newly-commissioned battleship, USS Ohio (BB-12) and shipped out in her to the Asiatic Fleet.
		Nimitz hoped, like all his contemporaries, to be assigned again to a battleship, which during that era was not just the pride of the Navy, but the capital ship, the embodiment of seapower.
		Nimitz’s specific contributions to the new submarine designs are not documented, but the outcome of this board – generally conservative but with strong endorsements of improved habitability, reliability, and specific research and development priorities – reflect the practicality and innovation that seem to have been one of Nimitz’s trademarks.
