Sam and Snippy: This is an absolutely magnificent thread. As you know, I am well-versed in the action at Brecourt Manor and in the wartime history of the 101st, but this was just a wonderful read. Thank you so much!

1954 1st atomic submarine, USS Nautilus, launched on Thames River, christened by First Lady Mamie Eisenhower

A great uncle of mine was involved in the design and construction of the motors for this boat.
