- Narrated by Raymond Edwards for Connecticut Public Television, this is a documentary about building the first nuclear submarine for the United States Navy features interviews with former crew members, naval historians, and some of the workers at Electric Boat in Groton, Connecticut who participated in her design and construction. Ray Edwards’ narration was requested to replace that of veteran news correspondent Richard Valeriani, who left the project, causing Mr. Edwards to replicate the pacing and timing of the previous narration as the visual elements could not be altered in time for the scheduled broadcast release date in 1990.
My father was an electrician at the facility in Idaho and worked on the prototype many times. Years later, after he retired. And while visiting me. I took him aboard the real Nautilus in Groton. He has since passed away from asbestos poisoning.
Blessings to him and your family
How exactly was he poisoned ?
@@larryzigler6812 breathing it in I guess.
Fun fact:
The father of the nuclear submarine, Nautilus...Hyman G. Rickover wasn't even invited to the keel laying ceremony of his own submarine because senior naval officers didn't like him.
Congress representatives and the (then honest) media noticed and made some serious noise with the secretary of the navy.
Terrible injustice.
Then honest media ?
Honest media?
Yes they were far more honest then. Cared about facts not agendas. Grew up in a different world for sure. Rickover was not an easy man to like the legend is far better than to know him.
@@eradico2098 Yes , there was no FOX news then.
I'm sure he got over it.
Retired across her side in 1989. In the 70's while NSSF Groton, did some work in her reactor compartment (where I got my largest radiation dose, as even the reactor compartment bilges were contaminated).
Thank you for sharing this! 👍
I visited it in Groton submarine museum in 2001 while on holiday,my pal's American girlfriend's father Rodger took me there,great museum!Roger showed me his seat where he served as a radio operator on the walk through,the attack centre is in the museum and can use periscope,great few hours spent there
I wrote a paper on nuclear deterrence during the Cold War period. The Nautilus was built to ensure Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). Had the Soviets made a nuclear attack on America’s soil, America would at least have the chance to make a retaliatory strike on the Soviet Union. It was an extremely stressful times, especially with ego-maniacs in both Russian and US offices. Interesting topic..
@lorimeyers3839 your last sentence makes it seem as though you believe we are all finished with the egomaniac in government offices. They're still there, as are mentally inept folks who are needing help to even get from room to room.
Toured her while she was still in comission her range was limited by the amount of food and spare parts she could load
Mainly food
From 1990

Leave it to greenpeace to argue against something that is so obviously beneficial to humanity, on the basis of ignorance. ‘Oh the people are so fearful and distrustful of something that we have failed to educate them about’. They can just stuff it!

Those peace protesters didn't know the difference between a nuclear warhead and a nuclear reactor.
How do you know?
@@larryzigler6812 because I was a crewmember of a nuclear powered submarine and we used to get protestors protesting against nuclear weapons. I actually tried to explain the difference to some of them and they just looked at me with a "deer in headlights" look and then kept chanting against nuclear weapons.
@@larryzigler6812 next question?
@@joecombs7468 I don't believe you. Plus how would they know whether you had nukes on board or not. Also some anti nuclear weapon folks are anti nuclear power too. Next comment.
@@larryzigler6812 of course you don't believe me. You could Google my name and see photographs of me on my submarine on my Facebook page. But then that would be facts over your feelings.
And how do I know they were protesting nuclear weapons?
I read their signs and the literature they handed me.
And what's the difference? At the other end of the shipyard they were building Ohio class trident submarines. 570 feet long with 24 large tubes for intercontinental ballistic missiles.
My submarine?
A 360 foot long nuclear powered attack submarine. No vertical ballistic missile tubes. Designed to hunt down and shoot torpedoes at Soviet ballistic missile submarines.
If you want to have a discussion? Fine, I'm hear.
But if you are just a zombie of the Marxist left replying with
"I don't believe you"
Or
"Why? Because YOU say so."
To everything you don't want to be true, then you can go fnck yourself and waste someone else's time.
I don't have time for people who hate everyone they don't agree with 100% and do not know how to think for themself or even use Google.
Submarines once !
Most of these people can’t pronounce “nuclear.” Ironic.
Yep. It drives me crazy when people pronounce it nook you lar instead of nook Klee are. Just slow down and sound out the word you're having trouble with.
