OT: John, It is very likely our fathers might have crossed paths. I must be mistaken about it being the first nuclear sub. After looking at the site it says that the first was in Connecticut, but shows: Other commercial shipyards included Newport News Drydock and Shipbuilding Co., Virginia, which built its first submarine in 1905; New York Shipbuilding Corp., Camden, New Jersey; Fore River Shipbuilding Co., Quincy, Massachusetts; and Ingalls Shipbuilding Corp., Pascagoula, Mississippi. Submarines also return to shipyards for periodic overhauls and maintenance. My father was a nuclear and mechanical engineer and worked on a lot of classified stuff back in the 50's and 60's. Very interesting sight you sent me too, brought back memories ...

OT John, one last thing, my father did mention a gentleman named Admiral Smiley (spelling? Admiral Smiley was friends with my father and came to our house frequently. IF your father was associated with SeeBees, I wondered if he spent anytime in Gulfport MS. I spent some time on the gulfcoast when my father worked with Ingalls on the NUKES! I seem to remember a SeeBees memorial there that I thought was cool when I was a kid.
