Work Starts on Atom Cruiser Long Beach
Quincy's Fore River shipyard laid the keel for the USS Long Beach, first nuclear powered surface warship, in a ceremony with about 4,000 Bethlehem Steel workers and 250 Navy officers. Adm. Jerauld Wright and Long Beach Mayor Raymond C. Kealer hailed the event as meaningful, linking it to Fermi's 1942 reactor milestone and signaling a new era in atomic energy leadership. The ship is slated for launch in 1961 as a direct descendant of the first controlled nuclear reaction in Chicago.
