The nuclear submarine has evolved over time, in design, construction, and weapons, to become the most feared deterrence force ever. Tom Clancy, a well-known author and naval expert, describes nuclear attack submarines (SSN’s) in an excellent fashion by commenting:

The modern SSN is a stealth platform with 70 percent of the worlds surface under which to hide. Its endurance determined not by fuel but by the amount of food that may be crammed into the hull, and its operational limitations determined more by the skill of the commander and crew than by external factors.

The idea of nuclear energy to power navy submarines came from an improbable origin: a United States naval officer named Hyman G. Rickover. After World War II, Rickover was transferred to the engineering department of the United States Navy. While there, he was responsible for envisioning the idea of placing small nuclear reactors in submarines and surface ships. With these reactors, vessels could travel great distances wi
