Title: NS Savannah
Content: NS Savannah NS "Savannah" was the first nuclear-powered merchant ship. It was built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9 million (including a $28.3 million nuclear reactor and fuel core) and launched on July 21, 1959. It was funded by United States government agencies. "Savannah" was a demonstration project for the potential use of nuclear energy. The ship was named after , the first steamship to cross the Atlantic ocean. It was in service between 1962 and 1972 as one of only four nuclear-powered cargo ships ever built. (Soviet ice-breaker "Lenin" launched on December 5, 1957, was the

Title: USOS Seaview
Content: , commissioned in 1954, was the first nuclear-powered ship of any kind. In August 1958, she steamed under the Arctic ice cap to make the first crossing from the Pacific to the Atlantic via the North Pole. On 3 August 1958 she became the first ship to reach the North Pole. On 17 March 1959, the nuclear submarine became the first submarine to surface at the North Pole. While at the Pole, her crew scattered the ashes of Arctic explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins. The film "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" begins with "Seaview" in the Arctic on the

Title: Steamship
Content: the water. NS "Savannah", was the first nuclear-powered cargo-passenger ship, and was built in the late 1950s as a demonstration project for the potential use of nuclear energy. Thousands of Liberty Ships (powered by steam piston engines) and Victory Ships (powered by steam turbine engines) were built in World War II. A few of these survive as floating museums and sail occasionally: SS "Jeremiah O'Brien", SS "John W. Brown", "SS "American Victory", SS "Lane Victory", and SS "Red Oak Victory". A steam turbine ship can be either direct propulsion (the turbines, equipped with a reduction gear, rotate directly the propellers),

Title: Nuclear powered cruisers of the United States Navy
Content: Orbit, in which they circumnavigated the globe, without refuelling. It was a remarkable achievement for its time, a naval group capable of sailing over in just 65 days, without replenishment. In the spring of 1967 came the Navy's third nuclear powered cruiser, (though initially labeled a frigate), USS "Truxtun" (DLGN-35), a heavily modified design based on the cruiser. "Truxtun" would be followed by the 2-ship , beginning with in February 1974 and in January 1975. The US Navy was the only fleet in the world with nuclear powered cruisers, until 1974 when the USSR would begin construction on their own

Title: Powership
Content: then as a power facility abroad by the International Steel and Metal Corporation. In 1959, she was renamed "Somerset". The first floating nuclear reactor ship was the MH-1A, in the Panama canal zone. This ship (the Sturgis) is due to be scrapped in 2015. Although the reactor and fuel have already been removed. Power barges and power ships offer a number of advantages over other forms of power plants; due to their mobility, powerships can be connected to local power grids to temporarily cover demands whenever on site power plants are insufficient or the building of new power plants will
