The world’s first operational nuclear-powered submarine. On August 3rd 1958 the vessel became the first submarine to complete a submerged transit of the North Pole. Because her nuclear propulsion allowed her to remain submerged far longer than diesel-electric submarines, she broke many records in her first years of operation, and traveled to locations previously beyond the limits of submarines.
