On January 17, 1955, Commander Admiral Eugene P. Wilkinson signaled this historic message from the USS Nautilus: ÒUnderway on nuclear power.Ó The worldÕs first nuclear submarine, Nautilus would become the worldÕs most famous submarine, setting many endurance records for submerged operations (she could stay underwater for weeks at a time) and, in 1958, navigating under the North Pole. Hand-signed by Wilkinson, her first commanding officer, this black-and-white photograph is matted and framed in wood under glass. Certificate of authenticity included.
