New sub at Groton

NR-1 comes to Groton :up:

Quote:

A deep diving submarine that was once one of the most secretive vessels in the U.S. fleet is now part of a permanent installation at the Connecticut Submarine Force Museum. Rep. Joe Courtney and Chief of Naval Operations Jonathan Greenert attended Wednesday’s ribbon cutting ceremony for the NR-1 submarine exhibit in Groton.

If I remember right, this was pushed through development at the behest of Hyman Rickover and Dr. John Craven . Dr. John Craven, as Chief Scientist of the Special Projects Office, was in charge of the Deep Submergence systems projects, which included the Sealab program and the NR-1 was part of that. The NR-1 also featured a nuclear reactor as well.
