abstract
  • Hyman George Rickover (January 27, 1900 – July 8, 1986) was a United States Navy admiral who directed the original development of naval nuclear propulsion and controlled its operations for three decades as director of Naval Reactors. This earned him the nickname "Father of the Nuclear Navy". In addition, he oversaw the development of the Shippingport Atomic Power Station, the world's first commercial pressurized water reactor used for generating electricity. With 63 years of active duty, Rickover is the longest serving naval officer in U.S. history as of this writing. He was made a four-star admiral in 1973. However, throughout much of his career, Rickover maintained an iron grip on the nuclear reactor operations, which was seen as increasingly detrimental to the program and the Navy overall. After surviving multiple attempts by the U.S. Navy to force his retirement, Rickover finally surrendered to retirement in 1982. He died in 1986 after a series of strokes.
