Hyman Rickover, the founder of America’s nuclear navy.

The USS Hyman G. Rickover will be christened Saturday at General Dynamics Electric Boat in Groton, Conn. The company has been the primary builder of submarines for the Navy for more than 100 years.

Hyman Rickover, the “father of the nuclear Navy,” published “Education and Freedom,” which deplored the sad state of U.S. technical education when compared with that of other developed nations.
