๐Ÿ“œ From the archives:
On October 15, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower directed the Atomic Energy Commission and the Department of Commerce to construct the worldโ€™s first nuclear-powered merchant ship, the NS Savannah. Envisioned as a key part of his "Atoms for Peace" initiative, the vessel served as a floating laboratory to demonstrate the peaceful application of atomic energy in ocean transportation and international trade.
