{{quiz: who said "Under Way on Nuclear Power"}}

The story I read has it something like this:

The quote was written by Eugene P. Wilkinson, USN Ret., released by Communications Officer Ned Dietrich and sent by Quartermaster Rayl on January 17, 1955 as the first nucear sub, the USS Nautilus, was emarking on her maiden voyage.

Ding Ding Ding We have a winner!!!

Always try to stop by the submarine museum and crawl around the Nautilus whenever I'm driving through CT.
