USS Nautilus (SSN571)

The world's first nuclear powered vessel shown here as a designated National Historic Landmak, on the river Thames in Groton, Connecticut.  The city that built her now displays her; officially retired and basking in her limelight.

The three-masted bark Charles W. Morgan is the centerpiece of Mystic Seaport.  Built in New Bedford, MA, in 1841, the Morgan sailed for 80 years.  The ship is the sole survivor of the 19th century Yankee whaling fleet.

First of the nuclear-powered anti-submarine submarines, the USS Tullibee is shown at see shortly after commisioning at her General Dynamics Corporation's Electric Boat Division dock in Groton, Conn. Carrying the smallest crew of any nuclear ship - six officers and fifty men - the 273-foot Tullibee is one of the Nevy's newest Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) weapons and is designed specifically to seek out and destroy enemy submarines. She carries more sonar equipment than all U.S. submarines of World War II.
