The unveiling was part of a
ceremony during which Naval
Capt. Hyman George Rickover,
chief of the naval reactors branch
of the Atomic Energy Commits
sion, was awarded a gold star in
lieu Of a second Legion of Merit
for his work on design and de-
velopment of the Nautilus, whose
keel was laid June IA.
Capt. Rickover's model shows a
furnace where uranium will react
to produce heat. Water, passing
through the atomic firebox will
carry away the heat which will
then be used to produce steam.
The steam will turn mechanical
turbines which will operate two
propellers.
The model indicates hull con-
siderably deeper than that of con-
ventional submarines-and in this
respect, it resembles the bodies of
double decker transport aircraft.

New Killer Submarine
AT Gun Factory for
Official Inspection

The Navy's first "anti-subma-
rine" submarine is tied up at the
Naval Gun Factory today, ready
for inspection by high-ranking De-
fense Department officials and
amy Congressman who still may be
in town.
The small, elaborately equipped
submarine, designated the XII,
came from Annapolis yesterday
where it had been inspected by
midshipmen at the Naval Acad-
emy.
Its appearance is different from
that of other submarines because
of large "box" built into the for
ward part of the hull. In this
"box" is sonar gear-much of it
still highly secret-which picks up
the sound Of other submarines.
Officers could not reveal the
speed of the XII, other than to
say it is slower than conventional
types of new submarines. The
XII is about 750 tons, half the
size of standard submarines.
The smaller size of the subma-
rine makes mass production pos
|sible. Two similar underseas craft
have been built since the XII.
The crafts skipper is 1t. Comdr.
Frank A. Andrews of Newport,
r.. I. 1t. Roy B. Cowdrey, 6317
Woodside place, Chevy Chase, Md,
is executive officer.
The XII was launched March 2,
1851. Presiding at the ceremonies
was Mrs. Alice B. Thomas, 4840-B
South Twenty eighth street, Fair
lington, widow of Comdr. w. M.
Thomas. Comdr. Thomas was
skipper of the submarine Pom
pano, lost in World War II while
on its seventh mission.
Since the XII was commissioned
last November. it has been making
test runs off the Atlantic coast.
