Around the World Submerged: The Voyage of the Triton

When the nuclear-powered submarine USS "Triton" was commissioned in November 1959, its commanding officer, Edward L. Beach, planned a routine shakedown cruise in the North Atlantic. Two weeks before the scheduled departure Beach was told of the immediate necessity to prove the reliability of the Rickover-conceived submarine. His new secret orders were to take the "Triton" around the world, entirely submerged the whole distance. This is his gripping first-hand account of what went on during the 36,000 nautical-mile voyage whose record for speed and endurance still stands today.
