Not yet Aug 3rd, but it is consistent with recent posting.
Some excerpts:
- The USS Nautilus was constructed under the direction of U.S. Navy Captain Hyman G. Rickover
- Regarded as a fanatic by his detractors, Rickover succeeded in developing and delivering the world's first nuclear submarine years ahead of schedule.
- At 11:15 p.m. EDT on August 3, 1958, Commander Anderson announced to his crew: "For the world, our country, and the Navy--the North Pole."
- For the command during the historic journey, President Dwight D. Eisenhower decorated Anderson with the Legion of Merit.
