Background

The USS Nautilus made history in 1954 as the world's first nuclear-powered submarine. For the first time, its revolutionary nuclear propulsion system made it possible to sail underwater for months without surfacing for months. In 1958, it became the first vessel to cross the North Pole under the Arctic ice. This feat of engineering fundamentally changed maritime warfare and ushered in the age of modern submarine fleets.
