In today's Cooter's History Blog, I wrote about the death Tuesday of Eugene P. Wilkinson who served on several submarines during World War II and also commanded the world's first nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus.
During the war, he went on eight war patrols.
Interesting life.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
