This week Admiral Ken Carr spoke about the USS Nautilus (first nuclear submarine) being commissioned and going to sea 50 years ago. He was a Lt then and served on the Nautilus on the maiden voyage and on the polar crossing (first time a submarine sailed under the artic ice).

It was fascinating to hear of the problems and creative solutions that were experienced by the crew. There is so much mystery about nuclear submarines, but Adm Carr brought a human perspective to this achievement of the 1950's.
