The christening ceremony for the USS Nautilus (SSN 571), Jan. 21, 1954. The Nautilus was the U.S. Navy's first nuclear-powered submarine. (U.S. Navy photo)

In the years after World War II, the U.S. Navy found itself with an aging fleet of diesel submarines ill-equipped to deal with the new rules of a new type of war, the Cold War.

This new faceoff with the Soviet Union emphasized espionage over confrontation, and electronic warfare over a torpedo shot. In secrecy and stealth, the submarine became the sentinel and remained vigilant for any rumbling of the Soviet bear.
