Even more great information can be found on nuclear submarine activity during the Cold War on the discovery channel. Although a great accomplishment at the time, the focus was to gain a strategic and tactical advantage over the (now-defunct, but future resurrect?) Soviet Union.

Once again leave it to the military to innovate and accomplish the "impossible." Thanks for the note.
