USS Nautilus SSN 571 Nuclear Submarine Painting

$1500

The USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was the world’s first operational nuclear-powered submarine. The vessel was the first submarine to complete a submerged transit to the North Pole on August 3, 1958. Sharing names with the submarine in Jules Verne’s Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and named after another USS Nautilus (SS-168) that served with distinction in World War II, Nautilus was authorized in 1951 and launched in 1954. Because her nuclear propulsion allowed her to remain submerged far longer than diesel-electric submarines, she broke many records in her first years of operation, and traveled to locations previously beyond the limits of submarines. This stunning acrylic on board by Richard DeRosset measures 43″ x 24″…Check out the actual photograph of the USS Nautilus and click photos below for better viewing…  We also have a brass plaque that would look great displayed along side this painting..
