 | 124k | George Washington was born 22 February 1732 in Westmoreland County, Va. He was commissioned in the Virginia Militia in 1753, rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel the next year, and fought brilliantly in the French and Indian War. Entering the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1759, Washington was an early advocate of independence. In 1775 he was appointed Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, and demonstrated a profound appreciation of sea power as well as great military genius. After years of hardship and arduous struggle, he finally won a decisive victory at Yorktown. In directing Allied movements during this campaign, one of the great strategic operations of our history, Washington brilliantly employed the French Navy to cut off Lord Cornwallis from help by sea. He had sought a decisive combined operation like this for years, for he wrote "In any operations, and under all circumstances a decisive Naval superiority is to be considered as a fundamental principle and the focus upon which every hope of success must ultimately depend. The Treaty of Paris recognized American independence 20 January 1783. After attending the Annapolis Convention of 1786 and presiding over the Continental Convention of 1787, Washington was unanimously elected first President under the new Constitution and inaugurated 30 April 1789. His two terms in office laid the foundations for strong government under the Constitution. Returning to his home at Mount Vernon in 1797, Washington was recalled briefly to command the American army when war with France threatened in 1798. He died at Mount Vernon 14 December 1799. | Photo from the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Washington, D.C. 20540, courtesy of Bill Gonyo. | ||||

 | 1.80k | Polaris – Successful Launches, Successful Flights. Two Polaris test vehicles were launched from submerged submarine 20 July 1960, in the first full scale tests of all elements of the Navy's Fleet Ballistic Missile Weapons System. The submarine making the historic launches was George Washington (SSBN-598), first of the nation's nuclear powered missile launching submarines and one of two scheduled to be deployed this year on operational patrol. The submarine was cruising submerged in the Atlantic Ocean about 30 miles off Cape Canaveral, Florida, at the time of the test, the launching and test flights were evaluated as successful in meeting all the test objectives of live missile launch from beneath the surface of the ocean and guided flight to a pre-selected impact area ranges of the flights were more than 1,000 nautical miles. Shown: The first Polaris missile breaks the surface of the ocean and ignites, sending it on its pre-designated flight path. | Photo # USN 1049180 courtesy of the National Museum of the U.S. Navy, via flickr.com. | ||||

 | 202k | The George Washington (SSBN-598), taken at Bangor, WA. following the missile off-load in '82. Notice the damaged sonar array on the bow. Funny story... just before we sailed for Bangor, a small-ish (category 2) hurricane hit the Sub-Base at Pearl Harbor, then drifted north, caught the jet stream and headed for the mainland. Meanwhile, we sailed directly for Puget Sound (where we experienced the same storm system for a second time). When we arrived, the storm had developed into one of the worst pineapple express/El Nino storms to hit the pacific northwest in years. The maneuvering watch was like the rendezvous scene from "Das Boot". During my turn as look-out, we had to duck down inside the sail every 30 seconds or so as huge rollers washed over us, sending gallons of water down the hatch (they even had to wear foul weather gear in the control room). The boat was pitching, yawing and especially rolling (sometimes 60° or more). The storm had blown down trees all over the place and some of them ended up in the sound. As we pitched down into a trough, up ahead we spotted a big old pine tree (probably 2' in diameter) as it slid down the back side of the swell in front of us. And then we hit it (at the branchy end, luckily). And that was only the second biggest thing the Georgefish ever ran into! | Photo i.d. & text courtesy of Robert Frasier, RM3/SS.

As time passes & more boats are retired from service and their reactors are brought here, so the numbers rise.
