 | | With the introduction of nuclear power to the submarine force, Chief Pennington was one of the first to be selected to attend the various nuclear power schools, both military and civilian. |
 | | In June 1961, after completing nuclear power training, he was assigned as leading chief reactor technician in the U.S.S. Thresher (SSN 593), and in September of the same year he was sent to the David Taylor Model Basin in Washington, where he assisted in evaluating his ship's performance. |
 | | Because of his outstanding performance of duty as a submariner, and his knowledge of the submarine nuclear power program, Chief Pennington was selected to join a group to represent the submarine force in the form of a motivation team. |
