In the 1950s, Connecticut’s latest entry into nautical history was the first nuclear-powered submarine, the U.S.S. Nautilus. The 7.5-million-pound underwater vessel completely changed military strategies globally, because it could stay under water undetected for a long time. The Nautilus was the first sea vessel to travel beneath the Arctic ice cap and it played an important role in the dangerous Cuban Missile Crisis nuclear weapon standoff between the U.S. and Russia. Hear the story of the Nautilus from the Director of the Submarine Force Museum in Groton, where the Nautilus is berthed in retirement, Lt. Commander Derek Sutton.
