Under the sea 51 years ago today...

[CCIP]

Had this one pop up on Wiki earlier today in the "on this day" section and I thought this was worth making note of

1957 – USS Nautilus, the first nuclear-powered submarine, logged her 60,000th nautical mile, matching the endurance of the fictional Nautilus described in Jules Verne's novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.

I always found those science-fiction-to-reality things very cool!

Where are you Bill, tell us more about that great old sub of yours :p

[edit, oops, 51, not 61 years...]
