 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Tony Rosa. The Navy celebrated 60 years of naval nuclear power September 30th, with a ceremony held on USS Nautilus in Groton, Connecticut. The event commemorated the commissioning of USS Nautilus, the Navy's first nuclear-powered vessel. In 1954, the submarine community began its shift from diesel-powered engines to nuclear-powered engines. This transition was marked by Commander Eugene Wilkinson's famous words, underway on nuclear power. This was followed by the commissionings of three nuclear-powered ships, USS Long Beach, USS Enterprise and USS Bainbridge. These nuclear-powered vessels brought increased range and combat capability to the fleet. They were the first of their kind and paved the way for platforms of the modern Navy. Today, the Navy's nuclear propulsion capabilities provide strategic deterrence and project power worldwide.
