First Test Atomic Submarine
“Groton, Connecticut, January 17, 1955. USS Nautilus signals 'Underway on nuclear power' as she eases from the pier. Foreground shows Captain Wilkinson smiling on the bridge in foul-weather gear; midground reveals tugs pulling the matte-black hull away into the Thames River; freezing fog hangs over winter waters as the atomic age goes to sea.”
