Met a retired Marine that was flown out to the Nautilus after emerging from polar ice cap, because they forgot a nuke had to have a marine guard on duty before entering port.
I met the Navigator of that trip , Captain Sheppard Jenks. He was a Lieutenant then in 57 when they took part in Operation Sunshine.

Awesome, that reminds me of an SAS doctor I met who fought in Malaya - all parachuting into Jungle had to have medical supervision - so he was always the first out of the aircraft :-)!
It's almost poetic that Hyman Rickover died July 8, only three months after the Nautilus was welded to that pier in Connecticut. It was like he waited to see what would become of his life's work. Content with the outcome, I imagine he gave it a last salute and set sail for the last time...
I loved this story, thanks for telling it.
The US Navy submarine force owes a great debt of gratitude to Hyman Rickover.
USN as a whole owes Mr.Rickover a debt of gratitude, especially the command structure that stymied him at every front. Rickover practically dragged USN kicking and screaming into the 20th century. He was loyal, hardworking like no other and his vision was just. It gave the other branches a run for their money when it came to the importance of nuclear submarines in the nuclear triad of deterrence. The upper brass shouldn't have been so dismissive of Hyman Rickover in the first place. You don't have to be a Horatio Nelson to be a great naval man.
The treatment of Admiral Rickover by the Navy Top Brass reminds me of a saying:
Always trust the US to do the right thing; after they tried everything else.
@@kilianortmann9979 I think it was Churchill that said that.
worth mentioning, the royal navy owes him somewhat too, given his involvement in both the dreadnaught program and the polaris sales agreement.
The whole world owes him a debt of gratitude. His dedication to quality and safety in ALL things nuclear prevented everyone's nuclear programs from looking like the Soviets.
Also it can not be under stated how revolutionary she was. After wargames it was often said her ability to move fast and stay submerged made her worth 6 to 12 diesel boats. They were essentially mobile smart mine field while she was more akin to the classic cruiser or sailing frigate. That hasn't changed btw.
Not sure if anyone pointed this out.

Got to see her after completing S1C prototype training and picked up emergency submarine welding school in Groton the Summer of '86. Great memories on the Thames and seaport towns nearby!!!😍
For those who don't know, that top photo between 23:00 and 26:00 is the S1W prototype reactor for the Nautilus at the Naval Reactors Facility, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, in the desert north of the lava fields near Arco, Idaho. Basically, Rickover went out in the desert and built a working submarine engine room stuck straight through the middle of a big swimming pool (to represent its "ocean") and used it to test the reactor design for the Nautilus. As the team successfully tested the S1W reactor components in Idaho, construction would then proceed with a copy in Groton inside the hull of the Nautilus. The building and testing of the S1W prototype would in that way move just a few steps ahead of the duplicate reactor in Connecticut that would power the ship. Rickover decided this would be quicker than completing all testing in Idaho and then starting construction on the ship. The S1W submarine plant in the desert proved its usefulness by completing a simulated submerged trans-Atlantic crossing to Ireland on its first test run, at Rickover's orders, without any preceding warning to the staff or engineers that he wanted the plant run until it "arrived" in Europe.
It is worth mentioning that S1W in Idaho and her twin inside the submarine Nautilus were not *just* "the world's first submarine nuclear reactor design"; in fact, S1W was THE FIRST NUCLEAR POWER PLANT IN HISTORY TO PRODUCE *ANY* USEFUL NUCLEAR POWER. Everything before S1W had been for mere physics testing. S1W was the first reactor to *do* anything. That should give you an idea just how far Hyman Rickover pushed his project: He submitted his intentions on paper to propel a submarine with a functional nuclear reactor when no such thing had ever existed and *only eight years later* the ship sailed.
S1W, "Submarine reactor plant number 1 by Westinghouse", remained in continued use in Idaho for many years as a training facility for the instruction of Naval Nuclear Program operators, even as she was joined in the desert by her neighbors, the A1W plant for aircraft carriers (the USS Enterprise reactor prototype) and the new submarine reactor plant design S5G (for the USS Narwhal). I graduated as a Naval Reactor Operator from S1W in autumn of 1987. The plant was decommissioned in 1991.

Trained and qualified Engineering Officer of the Watch at S1W in Late 1984. Maybe the least fun 6 months of my navy career, but maybe one of the best days was passing my Final Evaluated Watch.
I do know that. My father worked for Westinghouse out there.
the plant diagram (for S1W) shows the main turbine going to a reduction gear, clutch and propulsion motor with the option for battery propulsion. Strange that there would be a reduction gear? In turbo-electric drive, the turbine drives a generator (running high RPM) which supplies electrical power to the propulsion motor (running at lower RPM), so having a reduction gear seems unnecessary. The more common is steam turbine - reduction gear - propeller shaft. Did some WWII ships use turbo-electric because we could not produce enough reduction gears?
Thank you for sharing, that is something I decidedly did not know!!
@@joechang8696 Roughly speaking (I'm no expert on surface engines; see Drachinifel's channel), surface propulsion systems progressed from sail to coal and reciprocating engines at the turn of the 20th Century, through vertical triple-expansion engines and oil-fired steam boilers between the wars and through WWII, with warships then adopting steam turbines powering either direct-drive (clunky, not very nimble, and crap at low speed), or geared (works fine but good reduction gears are expensive to make), or, later, turbo-electric drive (easy to use but the gigantic, early electric plants were not what you wanted in the bottom of a warship if anyone poked a hole in the hull and the sea came in for a visit). Post-war, most U. S. Navy ships went to Diesel-generator + electric motor-drive and later still to gas-turbine engines for higher-performance ships.
As to the development of submarine propulsion, submarines had progressed from human-powered, to experiments with steam, then to the first truly capable subs, which were gasoline-fueled. German engineers succeeded in reducing Diesel engines to a size that could fit on a railway locomotive and at that point Diesel locomotive engines became available for use in submarines with a variety of geared systems attempted, often with large flywheels similar to those that had been seen on gasoline-powered boats. Soon, the development of electric motors and generators and large storage batteries pretty much perfected Diesel-electric submarine propulsion in the Fleet boats of the U. S. Navy in WWII. Rather than 4-cycle Diesel engines, the Fleet boats used 2-cycle engines for their superior power-to-weight ratios, although these required significantly more cooling. There was no need for reduction gears because the Fleet boats had high surface speeds (four beefy Diesel generators + two large electric propulsion motors) and operated at mere crawling speeds when submerged and powered by the battery. A Fleet boat Diesel engine driving a generator can stay around it's most efficient speed of about 720 RPM with the generator producing 60-cycle (in U. S. subs) electricity.
Rickover saw nuclear propulsion as a means of eliminating the Diesel-electric submarine's dependence on outside air but, oddly, introducing nuclear power meant a return for the Navy to steam propulsion in 1954 when all the latest ship developments were eliminating steam.
There are a few ways to apply a spinning steam turbine to drive a main shaft and the reduction gear on the Nautilus is not at all strange; geared transmission of power from a high-speed, multi-stage turbine engine to one or two rotating shafts could fling early nuclear subs through the water submerged at near 30 knots, and adding reverse-staging to the turbine engines allows the shaft to be backed for a limited period of time before cooling and other troubles visit the bearings and seals of the turbine. An auxiliary electric drive motor for low-to-medium speeds was placed in-line on the shaft and could be disconnected from the reduction gears by a clutch. This arrangement allowed great power availability at high ship speeds as well as a wide and responsive maneuvering range and emergency electric propulsion if needed, and it became the principle propulsion system of U. S. nuclear submarines through the Cold War.
But the Navy meanwhile continued to experiment with alternative drive systems for nuclear subs. The following three designs propelled subs with nuclear-steam turbines but all eliminated reduction gears and the noise (and expense) associated with them:
The Tullibee was launched in 1960 and was a quite small sub for hunting other submarines. She was a unique design. At her bow was a large passive-sonar array and she was propelled by very quiet turbo-generator drive system on a single shaft with an electric motor. She had a 28-year career of distinguished service, although she cracked her shaft in 1978, surviving the massive flooding that resulted.
The Narwhal was launched in 1967 and was a modified Sturgeon-class hull with an exceedingly quiet, natural-circulation, S5G reactor plant (one of those Idaho prototypes I mentioned), scoop seawater injection, and a shaft directly coupled to the large, many-staged main engine turbine. She is said to have been for thirty years the quietest attack boat in the U. S. fleet, as quiet as the Ohio-class missile subs.
The Glenard P. Lipscomb was launched in 1973 and was the Navy's second attempt at turbo-electric drive, intended as a more-capable, higher-speed platform than Tulibee, using the Navy's workhorse S5W nuclear plant. She was a sort of a test platform for ideas that might be incorporated into the upcoming Los Angeles class of submarines. The resulting design made the ship larger, heavier and thus slower than other subs, and she was also prone to reliability problems, so her turbo-electric design was not incorporated into the L. A.-class boats.
Direct-drive, single-turbine engines have to be pretty overbuilt and complex, respond less rapidly to maneuvering orders, and are not as easily reversed as a pair of geared turbines, however they do have the potential to be quieter.
Turbo-electric drive systems, in which the shaft is electrically powered, require massive motors and electrical plants if the ship is to be as large and as fast as modern submarines. DC motors with brushes have a long history of use on subs for their simplicity and reliability, but those brushes require frequent maintenance. These can also be powered directly to the large emergency storage batteries on submarines (used in the event of a reactor scram). AC motors can be physically smaller and require less care but are more complex and require DC-to-AC conversion equipment to run off the ship's battery. I do not know the status of brushless DC motors on recent submarines.
Engineering is not about what is theoretically possible; engineering is about building
- the best option for a situation
- with the technology available
- and resorting to the least overbuilding necessary.
Cheers.

Rickover is the absolute archetype of the demanding taskmaster. USN sub force would not be what it is today without him. o7
Man, what a hell of a guy. Letting no one hold him down
Warrior and genius
sad what men of vision get put through because smaller minds care more about their egos than the truth.
@@oldfrend time and time again, Turing, admiral YI etc
Admiral Rickover did a great service to the Navy. But after all the great things he did founding the nuclear navy, he turned into a huge jerk and control freak, and served another 30 or so years (63 years of total naval service) well past his prime. Refusing to retire, he pretty much controlled naval procurement priorities. He also took bribes from industry people, but because of his reputation, SecNav let it slide with a non-punitive letter of reprimand.
@@Prfactist Plus let's not forget the really concerning part - that someone (that actually essentially washed out of command) managed to game the system into doing his bidding and putting him in command of a crucial arm of the navy for literally decades with limited oversight and we only know about him because he actually succeeded.. It gets you thinking how many faceless Rickovers came and went squandering billions on their own personal pet projects, diverting resources away from stuff that's actually needed (ie for maintenance), just because they knew the right Congressman or played golf with the right CEO.
Only up to 5:15 and I know this is about the Nautilus, but just gotta say I love your synopsis about Rickover. While he was no more perfect than anyone else, kudos to him for putting in all that work and effort to get to a CO position, likely on track for bigger and better things and realizing 'You know, I've worked hard to get here, but being a captain isn't for me. I'm an engineer damn it!' and taking a step back even if conventional wisdom would paint that as a bad move career wise. I can respect the hell out of that alone, and have to wonder how many others over the years might have been better served if they did something similar. Thanks for the vid!
I grew up in New London, Conn. My first job was at Electric Boat... At the time i was working on the Trident nuclear sub ( USS Ohio SSBN - 726 ) as an electrician when the Nautilus SSN-571 came in for repairs and a refit.I was assigned to work on her for refitting. Yes she was a beaut! I got claustrophobic on her because she was sooo small. So anyways that's my time with SSN-571 back in 1975/1976..Back in 1981 when the Ohio SSBN-726 was commissioned Admiral Rickover noted that the Ohio " Should strike fear in the hearts of our enemies"... And yes if your ever in Conn. Go to Groton and take a tour... You'll be very surprised indeed, Out...
" I did not came to work with system, I came to make this country strong. "
HR ... great guy
Submariners in US Navy are mavericks. In WW2, they defied US Navy doctrine which forbids them to patrol on the surface. I don't know what the admiralty would say at that time. Probably they were not happy.
Rickover was no different, even crazier. He dragged whole US Navy, kicking and screaming into 20th century. A true embodiment of maverick, in a good sense. Salute to Rickover, from Indonesia.
I agree. Salute to ADM Rickover.
The Submarine Navy I retired from didn't want anyone to have any fun it was operated just like the new submarines we have: only training and work, that's what you're allowed to do, that's what our submarines are built around - barely any room to even walk around inside, just work, train, and sleep.
My late grandfather spent his career working at EB and was a welder on the Nautilus and retired as a draftsman on the 688 class. When I was a child I was onboard touring her when an announcement to go topside was broadcast over the loudspeakers. I got to watch as a fast attack was sailing past on her way out to sea. Thanks for the sub brief Jive, this one was very special to me.
True story.. in the early 80s, I was at the Naval Graduation, my LPO and I were running to get to our Cameras to videotape the proceedings and as we round a corner **WHAM**. My LPO in his Hawaiian Shirt runs right over this little old dude. He just keeps going yelling an apology and I stop to help him up and bugger me, it was Hymie! I dusted him off, made sure he was okay and turned too and got the hell outta there!
If we'd have had our CrackerJacks on, we'd have been standing before The Mast!!
Love these Briefs.
Great Story.
Best I had was Rimpac walking behind Pearl Harbor "Silver Dolphin Bistro" while smoking a cig and walking turn the corner, COMSUBPAC, a marine general, and two Aussie stars and their entourages. Dropped the smoke stood at attention and saluted and got GOD stared in my eyes by a bunch of E-7 and above.
in 2011 my class (we were juniors.... but class of 2012) took a trip to DC

we went to Annapolis to the big naval college

we had a tour guide, walking around
and we noticed 2 people who were OBVIOUUSLY not from montana
.
it was march.... and 40 to 50 degrees
we had t-shirts on (when we left MT.... it was -20f and snowing)
.
they had BIG coats on
.
so after about 40 mins of these 2 guys following us
tour guide asks "do you know thows 2??"
.
"nope... they arnt with us"
.
so tour guide talks to them....
then security shows up
and they got escorted off the "base"
.
we were like "wow.... its post 9/11 and you can just walk onto a base, walk around where ya want, ETC..... and only get kicked off because MT people dont wear coats when its 40 above"

As a non nuclear guy, for years I thought ENRO was a guy named Enro 🙃 I think the acronym is Evaluation Nuclear Reactors Office or something like that.
31:45 "Longitude: Indefinite." Hahah that's golden. I'd love if you could do a video on like a summary of a wargame. Would love to hear about a wargame and the tactics. Not sure if that's even available but you brought wargames up during video and made me think how much I'd LOVE to see a video on one in this detailed format. I would also be eternally grateful if you could fiddle around with the chapter feature RUclips apparently has that I've seen on some videos. Nice to be able to jump around when I'm re-listening to parts. Thanks for great content!
I found out at Thanksgiving that my uncle served aboard this vessel and I wish I would have asked for a lot more stories of the days he spent aboard it. In memory of my uncle Pat, who sadly passed away today. Thank you for your service and you will be missed.
That story should be made as a movie. Very captivating story.
As a fellow Submariner when you say certain things I am like " Ehhhhh true... ish WINK"
My distinct impression of Rickover is that most people would have absolutely hated to work with him. However, his accomplishments do deserve recognition. Not just because of the impact on the US Navy or Naval warfare, but on bringing nuclear power generation to reality decades before it might have happened otherwise.
I worked on the Nautilus from a sub tender when she was in the Mediterranean about 1975. By that time, she was very radioactive which was my job to control. Compared to the Los Angeles class subs at the time, the crew’s quarters were were quite comfortable. The Nautilus in addition to being a “Man O War”, was a showboat.
I was in the presence of Admiral Rickover once but I did not “meet” him. I was an enlisted man in charge of dosimetery. I had his dosimeter to give him but he would not accept it because of the confidence he had in his ships. He once drank some primary coolant to prove how safe the reactors were. Those of us in the “nuclear navy” were in awe of him.
This needs to be a movie.
agreed.
I just found your channel a few days ago and immediately subscribed. I've been watching every sub and navy documentary I could find. Your content is priceless and I don't think alot of people realize the time and education involved in these videos
"Fish don't vote."
I always loved seeing Nautilus to the starboard, meant we were just about home... thanks for the great video!
Seeing a brief on an American submarine is something new. I've only watched the first ten minutes and I want to keep on watching. It's a page-turner, except this isn't a book.
Genuine question - Captain, are you under an NDA not to disclose information on the submarines currently in U.S. service, even if you use only open-source data? Or do you just not want being put on a watchlist?
Yes, I have an NDA that expires in about 50 years.

Geez with the first name *Hyman* I can guarantee the names they made up for him early in his Navy Career were _ruthless_
One item about one of the pictures you used, on the slide with the power plant diagram, the upper right photo is of the Nautilus's prototype plant, S1W, where the concept of a naval nuclear reactor was full scaled tested. It is also where I did my US Navy nuclear propulsion prototype training to qualify as a Watch Officer out on the Eastern Idaho high plains! S1W is also a National Landmark.
It’s really interesting to have a US sub brief (I know it’s the first and definitely old, but it’s still very cool to see)!
I liked listening to Korean sonar. Sounded like a musical instrument 🎶
I trained at A1W so it was great to see the picture in your brief. great job!
Currently in Groton going through a-school, loving your channel to get even more in depth with the history we’re learning! Keep the briefs coming!
I want to thank you for your incredibly great videos. Sharing your expertise, hard work, and your great voice is a tremendous gift. Such a terrific overview of Rickover. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
This is my favorite museum! I've been more times than I can count over the years and you can't recreate the feeling of being on a real vessel. The history is very much alive and there's so much to see and learn it never gets old!!
Fascinating, thanks for your great work as always!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i just love how calmly you tell the story.
Awesome review man. I am really enjoying these!
I suggest a video on the Seawolf built after Nautilus. That should be an easy 45min plus video with the sodium reactor, 50 foot hull extension, russian waters missions, etc.
And a brief on the Narwhal would be nice. Fascinating boat design.
Thanks very much for all your work, but especially this video, I had no idea so much rested on the shoulders of one man
Awesome story and video, thanks a ton !
Thank You, another great piece of History ! Big Hug from Portugal !
New London CT reporting in! Thanks so much for doing a video on our old lady.
Iv never been in the navy or any other military service and wasn’t into subs watched your video on the Titans submersible and haven’t been able to stop watching your sub videos since awesome work!
Nice video! I really enjoyed it. I was able to tour the Nautilus twice as a kid. Once was in San Diego and the second time I think was in Houston. I was born near the end of 1954 and was fascinated by both submarines and airplanes. My parents were divorced when I was 5 or 6 but luckily my mother was very invested in seeing that I got to experience the things I was interested in even though we were relatively poor. I remember being disappointed that photos weren’t allowed on the tours. My mother was a bit claustrophobic so she didn’t enjoy these tours at all. For the second one I ended up going in with some people we met while waiting in line and my mother stayed on the pier. RIP Dorothy.
A little late to this party. I was listening to a podcast about 3/8/68…..subs w Russia . So I knew a crew member, my oldest sister born in Pocatello Idaho 1954 and my other sister born inNew London Connecticut 1955. The launch of the 571 out of Connecticut was truly a step for USA in the books. My father was one of the first crew members. Still have the big blue book . My sister and mom have pics of them in that book. My dad joined the navy in 1940. He was on many boats, but I only remember Sea Devil 1944, only because there was a reunion in San Diego. There was a also a reunion in San Diego for the 571, in 1999. That night of the reunion my dad had a fatal heart attack. Whoever was their at the reunion will know who my dad was. He loved being a sailor and loved his country. God Bless all who have served and continue to serve. ❤
Another great one Aaron! Nice job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a fabulous story. The very best example of a clever, dedicated American patriot . Talk about the American "Can do " approach. This is such a great story . Funny and a highly determined guy. From a friend in Qld Australia .
Of all the sub briefs I've enjoyed, this one was special... Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
As an ex submariner this historical program was very informative and interesting. I was on the USS Seahorse, SSN-669, and have many fond memories from my experience. Rickover truly was a rogue who wouldn’t take no from his superiors even though it hurt his career. Got to visit this time capsule Nautilus soon.
Well done Chief great video.
Captain rickmens story deserves a movie
Excellent presentation . Thanks for your efforts. Enjoyed thoroughly, and just smashed the subscribed button. Go Navy!
this chanel will be 1M if you keep up content like this
You have to admire a man who knows his limitations, and adapts his career arc accordingly.
Hey a very interesting listen. I'm not even a marine guy but this was fun.
Also, the Nautilus was so dependable that they welded a pier to it.
The way that you wrote your short stories like "The Ping!" has me desperately wanting a version of the Nautilus' travels through the arctic circle and to the north pole, I genuinely think you could give something like that some justice, plus I love those stories and your writing for them.
Good job. I didn't serve with you on the Pittsburgh but I was assigned to SSN-720 in-between NR-1 and SSN-768. Keep up the good work!
Another round of badassery Jive.. when I grow up.. imma be just like you! ;)
Rock on!
It is a great story. Thank you!
Thanks for this amazing brief! I was overjoyed and awed to be able to tour Nautilus in the mid 90s in Groton (on my second honeymoon) - in the decades before "bucket lists" this tour would have been on mine if I had one. Admiral Rickover ranks among the greats in the estimation of the Systems Engineering community.
Man I love these sub briefs. So much great info on boats I've always been fascinated by
Glad you like them!
Love love love this every bit of it! Thank you!
Glad you like it!
Love you Jive, but as a Rhode Islander, I must correct you; "Narragansett Bay is a bay and estuary on the north side of Rhode Island Sound covering 147 mi², 120.5 mi² of which is in Rhode Island. The Bay forms New England's largest estuary, which functions as an expansive natural harbor and includes a small archipelago. Small parts of it extend into Massachusetts." -Wikipedia, can confirm this is true as a rhode islander. Although it may be a bit semantic to do so. Love the videos!
Sweetie, i have to admit that submarines terrify me in the extreme, but I love your videos. This one was amazing, and I also liked the three-part one on the USS Scorpion.
Thank you so much!
39:42... Jive, "get off on the submarine." Me..so that's why they are called Seaman....
Loved it!
Jive... the Vallez brothers have designated you: the Naval Badass of the Month. Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈🎊
Thank you. I am preparing my acceptance speech...
Visited the Museum. Time well spent.
Thank you for this as I stated before I boarded her when I was five years old and it started my fascination with submarines however I didn’t join the Navy I was drafted into the army but that’s another story, great job thank you so much again
I've been to the force museum! Its a great trip and the4 sub is an astounding piece of history!
was stationed there at the museum. great stuff. i didn't know some of that stuff about the history. but, most was shoved into my brain, navy training style lol. really great job here. thanks for posting :)
Always love the content JiveTurkey!
This is super interesting! I love your presentation style, great to listen to.
Nice documentary dude
Great content thank you
Jive, great video to be posted on RUclips, Thank you!
My pleasure!
Man the detail you put into these videos are simply amazing!
Thank you! Very, very interesting!
Good story, thanks!
Great sub brief again, thanks captain! Usually my interest leans toward the soviet sub programme just because of the sheer innovation there (+ associated problems!) so it was good to hear about American innovation here. A truly remarkable story + incredible boat. I’m glad she’s still there for folks to go see... thanks again!
Cool, thanks
Admiral Rickover is one of the most underrated Naval Officers in History. He is responsible for changing an era and leading the way for the true Submarine. He should be remembered as one of the most important Officers in Naval History.
Great story thanks for sharing it.
Just found your channel, great stuff. I live in CT and go down to the see the Nautilus every few months. It's a free museum, they have audio tours of the first compartments, everything from the reactor room and aft was sealed when they refitted/refurbished her to be a museum ship, which stinks cause the original plan was to have all compartments open to the public. The museum itself is relatively small, but they have a bunch of neat stuff, like a replica of the Turtle, ballistic missiles, displays and info on lost submarines like the Thresher and Scorpion. There's so much to see, so much history, and it's completely free. I'm hoping to become a docent and do some volunteer work in the near future. But yea, great videos, and a great channel, really enjoy your content.
Awesome subbrief, really well narrated!
Glad you liked it!
Rickover - "What do you do in your spare time?"
Tell him what you do in your spare time.
Rickover - "Why DO you have spare time?"
The stories of Rickover's interviews are legend...and nightmare... :p
"Taking a pause between study sessions, sir."
So I can be at 100% effectiveness when I'm on duty, sir.
The long time battle between the Navy and Air Force sometimes included some good natured “ribbing” - while probably a coincidence in this case, number “571” on the first nuclear sub was also the number of the first production B-36 bomber.
When I was in junior high, I read the book, "NAUTILUS 90 NORTH." Read that book. It tells how they damaged the periscope, against ice, while trying to break through. They welded and ground the periscope, successfully. Then there was some kind of coolant leak. They bought all the Stop Leak in Seattle (as I remember it), poured the stuff into the system, and it worked. Anyone curious enough to see if I'm full of it, read that book.
Read it in the early 70s. Excellent book and I hope they have a copy at Georgetown University.
Should be required reading.
I love these sub briefs. I’ve watched every one on your Patreon. They’re so fascinating. Keep it up buddy.
Thanks, will do! I am working on the next one right now.
@@SubBrief what are the odds on publishing a redacted Los Angeles class? I can definitely see the issues and hurdles with the amount of info that’s classified. Maybe the history as to why it was created, published engagements, non classified armament, etc.
My brother was a sonar operator on the Nautilus in the mid 1970's, gold crew I believe. I've always had a soft spot for Adm, Rickover, and the Nautilus, he made things happen!
Gold crew? I didn't know the Nautilus had multiple crews.
Love what Craven said about the Nautilus. I encourage all to read his book!
Book name?
@@xmlthegreat : I can’t remember, and I have no idea where I put it, but if you look up anything about Craven, that book will pop up. He talks about ALL SORTS of interesting history!
@@TERoss-jk9ny John Pina Craven- The Silent War?
@@xmlthegreat: That’s It!!
There needs to be a legit movie about this man. Awesome biography
This is awesome content. thank you
What a great video! Saw that area several times on 95 but I've never been over there.
You should!
I met Rickover twice. Once at S1C prototype in Windsor, Conn. and again at Charleston Naval Shipyard during a refueling overhaul. Both were more than memorable (both very long stories). He sure did love his lemon drops.
so glad he had the foresight to force this project into being
In Sub School in 1988 I volunteered for a week of scut work at the USS Nautilus museum. Worked in the AMR chipping paint under a diesel. Got a certificate as an “Honorary Crewman”.
We visited Groton back when I was a kid and toured the Nautilus. I honestly don't remember it all that much (this is probably pushing 25 years ago), once COVID finally dies down I'm gonna have to schedule another trip up and see her again.
I can count on you to provide an awesome video.
Awesome content
Been on board the USS Nautilus. Definitely one of the coolest experiences of my life. The battery compartment as absolutely massive and you wouldn't believe the amount of batteries in the bottom of the hull. I believe she was pulled out of the Thames in Groton CT for an overhaul and just returned to port the other day.
