A Year in the Log of USS Nautilus Without Refueling

All Hands Magazine, April 1956

This single-page chart from the April 1956 issue of All Hands Magazine traces a full year in the operating log of USS Nautilus (SSN-571). It illustrates the remarkable endurance of nuclear power — the submarine completed a year of operations without requiring a single refueling stop, a feat impossible for any conventionally powered vessel of the era.
