A Unique Artifact Goes Virtual: Digitizing NR-1’s Control Room
The control room equipment of nuclear-powered submersible NR-1 joined the U.S. Naval Undersea Museum’s artifact collection in May 2018. NR-1 carried out classified and unclassified missions for almost 40 years as the Navy’s only nuclear submersible. The highly significant acquisition was made possible by the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, which carefully removed and reassembled the equipment during the recycling process. U.S. Navy photo. (Released)
