Today is Nobel Prize Day, the day Nobel Laureates receive their prizes at the #NobelPrize ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden.
Within @USNavy community, @NavalAcademy and @USNRL have produced two winners; @USNavyResearch has sponsored more than 60 awardees!
The most successful #submarine of #WWII, USS Tang (SS 306), was struck and sunk #OTD in 1944 by a circular run of her last torpedo.
Despite serving only a year, Tang set the record for most ships (33) and greatest tonnage (116,454) sunk among all @USNavy subs during the war.
Happy 66th birthday to the original nuclear #submarine, USS Nautilus (SSN 571), commissioned #OTD 9/30/1954! Today a #museum ship at our sister museum, the U.S. Navy Submarine Force Museum.
