Background information

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