Celebrating 70 years of the nuclear navy, the world's first nuclear powered submarine, the brainchild of Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, is launched from Groton, Connecticut on January 21, 1954.

The nuclear Navy is proof that small-scale reactors could be used broadly (and safely) for "clean" energy.

Did a tour of the USS Nautilus at the Submarine Force Museum in Groton CN some years ago - not a very large boat. Great museum on the history of subs, memorial to the subs and crews lost in WW2 - about 20% of the fleet IIRC - WW2 submarine warfare has always been a big interest of mine.
