The nuclear-powered merchant vessel whose keel is scheduled to be laid in March 1958 is described. This will be the world's third nuclear-propelled surface ship, but the first one with a completely unclassified power plant. Four advanced reactor concepts for merchant ship propulsion--pressurized water, boiling water, organic moderated, and gas-cooled designs---are described. A survey of worldwide efforts by maritime countries in the field of nuclear surface ship propulsion is presented. (L.T.W.)
