The Nautilus Arctic crossing sparked debate as Rear Adm. Rickover, known as the father of the atomic submarine, was not invited to the White House ceremony. President Eisenhower praised Cmdr. Anderson and the crew, while critics noted Rickover’s key role in the program. The submarine reached the North Pole after a perilous submerged voyage using dead reckoning and advanced inertial navigation aboard the nuclear vessel.
