At random: The USS SKIPJACK was the first submarine designed from the keel up for top underwater performance using nuclear power. An earlier SKIPJACK was the first U.S. submarine to cross the Atlantic ocean under her own power (Newport, Rhode Island to Ponta Delgada, Azores, in 1917).

Child exploitation by the Government. Gotta wonder who would actually place this child in harms way like that. I know it was a different time, and I have seen the Drummer Boys, but they were usually at least 12.
