Nuclear navy, 1946--1962
Book

OSTI ID:4268624
This book had its origins in a series of discussions with Admiral Hyman G. Rickover beginning in the spring of 1962. Having read The New World, the first volume in the Atomic Energy Commission's historical series, Admiral Rickover urged the authors to undertake a history of the naval nuclear propulsion program. Such a study, he believed, would reveal for the first time the truly significant aspects of the development of nuclear technology in the United States, a subject which, in his view, The New World had merely skirted. Although the authors of The New World found Admiral Rickover's suggestion an exciting possibility, work had already started on the second volume in the series and it was not feasible to take on another book. However, discussions with the admiral continued over the next six years with growing interest on both sides.
