USS Seawolf (SSN-575) was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for the seawolf, the second nuclear submarine, and the only US submarine built with a liquid metal cooled , beryllium-moderated [2] [3] nuclear reactor, the S2G. [4]

Westinghouse Electric Corporation had developed the pressurized-water reactor (PWR) for the USS Nautilus (SSN-571) at the Bettis Laboratory near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and at its prototype plant near Arco, Idaho. Research also had been intense in nuclear rocket propulsion, an aircraft propulsion plant involving a direct air cycle, another ...

2023年11月30日 · USS Seawolf (SSN-575) was the third of this name, and the USN second nuclear submarine, and a very interesting as she was the only one ever fitted with a Sodium liquid metal cooled beryllium-moderated nuclear reactor S2G.

Seawolf operated along the east coast until 9 November 1970 when her home port was changed to Vallejo, Calif., and she sailed for the west coast. The submarine transited the Panama Canal on the...

USS Seawolf (SSN 575) - decommissioned - USS SEAWOLF was the Navy's second nuclear-powered attack submarine and the first submarine to be equipped with a S2G sodium-cooled nuclear reactor.

2024年6月2日 · The USS Seawolf (SSN-575) was the only submarine ever built to be equipped with a liquid metal (sodium) nuclear reactor.

This sea story is about the world’s second nuclear powered submarine, the USS SEAWOLF (SSN-575), with the world’s first operational sodium-cooled reactor.

Operationally, the Seawolf (SSN-575) augmented the efforts of the Nautilus (SSN-571)—and later the Skate (SSN- 578) and the Tullibee (SSN-597)—in developing antisubmarine warfare and environmental controls that led to the Polaris boats.

The USS SEAWOLF (SSN 575) was the finest ship to ever log it out underway on nuclear power. The keel of world's second nuclear powered submarine was laid September 15, 1953, at the General Dynamics Corporation's Electric Boat Division , Groton, Connecticut.

On July 21, 1955, America's second nuclear submarine, U.S.S. Seawolf (SSN-575), slid down the ways at the Electric Boat Company. She would be a one-of-a-kind boat - at least until her sea...
