I chopped out many Nuclear systems aboard the Savannah over a period of 18 months ending in April 2020.

In 1976 The Rand Corporation included NS Savannah in a collection of case studies on various government projects, and they provide an excellent overview of the entire NS Savannah program. www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/reports/2006/R1927part1.pdf

[@spikedpsycho2383]

Ordered in 1955, launched in 1959. 4 years

[@davidmurphy8190]

The construction of the physical envelope, the non-nuclear elements of the propulsion, and all of her subsystems were begun before work in building the hull in 1958.

A noble ship.

[@RickyJr46]

A novel ship, too!

[@MrShobar]

A merchant ship "promoting freedom and liberty" ? How?

[@clemsonbloke]

They didn't do shit with it, basically wasted it. It has sit most of it's life.

[@turkey0165]

I am so glad that I was alive at that time and part of the United States Population that had the CAN DO, CAN ANYTHING Desire and ideology! So unlike today’s youths population of the sky is falling mentality!

[@MrShobar]

Question. What did you do that promoted that "CAN DO, CAN ANYTHING" ideology? Be specific.

[@turkey0165]

@MrShobar It's called a work ethic that nothing is free especially from the government from the welfare class! A no free cheese from the Government, No SNAP ethic if you want to eat you get a job and earn it, don't sit on your lazy ass and expect the Socialist Democratic Party to provide for you! As far as myself I work myself through school no govt. Hand out and providing the Money(NOT RESOURCE) Dems can't say money! for a better education which led to a better job with a major airline! These welfare liberal brats are spoiled communist today and its time to shove them out mama's and Dems. door to fend for themselves! Does that partially answer your socislist entitlement question!

[@phillxor]

To be fair, whilst the attitude is a bit over the top, the sky is kind of falling.

4:18 Nuclear reactor designed on PAPER

[@dmagill4]

That was the Autocad of the day, everything cut out to exact scale to see if it would fit...

[@einmensch4040]

For what reason the whole video is coloured reddish?

[@spikedpsycho2383]

6:32 Four thousand, nine hundred, ninety.......shit lost count

[@raybame5816]

The man said "more than 5k rods" so I guess you just kept filling holes until it was full; no counting req'd.

[@MitzvosGolem1]

Why was it taken out of service? Public was fearful of Nuke or foreign ports rejected it ?

[@UQRXD]

To expensive to operate.

[@dacomazielsdorf7618]

Also containerized cargo is starting to take hold and cargo ships like this take a long time to load and unload versus container cargo

[@tunneloflight]

Lots of rust.

[@clemsonbloke]

It's a shame that these old historical films haven't been remastered and clean up, they look like shit the way they are.

@@ShipHistory I can't, I'm disabled on a fixed income, it's criminal what I get. I was a teacher until I got sick. You should have you a good edit bay with some good software, there is a lot that can be done. One thing would be to scan the film into 1440p, that 480 is too low for today's standards. SInce the color has shifted really drastically, it might make it look it better is if it was in black and white. Anyway I do wish all the old films could be remastered and saved.

@@clemsonbloke I'm sorry to hear that! These are some great ideas and I will send them over to our archives department.
