Nautilus Proves Nuclear Submarine Hidden From View
After over two years of testing the Nautilus shows a nuclear powered submarine is nearly undetectable. Returned to New London from a Pacific cruise the vessel has logged about 82 000 miles since its 1954 launch and 1955 fleet entry. Navy secrecy limits statistics but an informed officer praised its performance as exceeding expectations noting higher submerged speed, longer on station without fuel replenishment, and independence from atmospheric oxygen.
