Pat Anderson has produced a well-researched chronological account of the world’s first peaceful use of nuclear energy. This picture-filled Nautilus Trilogy allows the reader to easily gain knowledge of the USS Nautilus from the laying of the keel to decommissioning. Included also is a less well-known part of Nautilus’ history, the political battle that eventually brought our Grand Lady home to Groton, Connecticut. Thankfully, she rests proudly at the pier of the Submarine Force Library and Museum – a national landmark everyone is welcome to experience.

Pat Anderson’s book Nautilus Trilogy takes the reader on a wonderful walk through the history surrounding the birth of nuclear power and construction of USS Nautilus (SSN-571), the world’s first atomic submarine. Pat’s attention to detail and carefully researched newspaper articles, press releases, and other documents of the day give the reader a sense of being front and center for each major event and underscores the sacrifice and dedication of the nuclear pioneers on whose shoulders we stand today.
