August 3 - The day the first American submarine Nautilus hits the North Pole

On August 1958, 3, the first American submarine, the Nautilus, invaded the North Pole. The Nautilus submarine became the world's first nuclear submarine. That is, with the exception of the power device, the ship had a simple device. During the ship’s testing process, many high performance was achieved, with the submarine traveling 1400 (miles) (2250) km in 20 hours at a speed of 90 knots. On July 1958, 23, the submarine came out of the port of Pearl Harbor in a mysterious light operation while on a covert mission. On August 1958, 3, the Nautilus first conquered the North Pole by submarine. The mission was completed at 11 a.m. to 15 p.m., with the ship's commander, Wilchm Andersen, announcing the mission to the 116-member crew. In May 1958, the Nautilus brought the first naval vessel, the Portmust, to a refurbished plant for refurbishment and to refuel with nuclear fuel. In 1960, after the completion of ship repairs, it was included in the list of the Sixth American Fleet and became the first nuclear submarine in the Mediterranean. In recent years, the Nautilus has participated in various naval training programs. His last visit was on May 1997, 26. After 25 years of service, he was discharged from the fleet in March 1980. Today, the submarine is docked at the American port of Graton as a memento.
