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).

It is amazing to look at these small boats with sailors manning the rails and compare them to the boats of today. In 1912 I doubt the admirals thought submarines would amount to much.

That Rondout Creek area, at Kingston, has some nice restaurants and tourist stuff today.
