...conventional submarines: the atomic Sea Wolf is ready for commission, seven more A-subs are under construction or authorized, another six are scheduled in the budget now before Congress. That budget makes a pair of historic requests: one is for a construction start on the first nuclear-powered surface vessel, a missile cruiser of about 11,000 tons; the other is for funds to begin design and procurement on the nuclear power plant for an aircraft carrier. Best estimate of the time required for the Navy's complete nuclear conversion: 20 years...

Michely constructed a simple device: a strong-walled pressure vessel with a valve and a nozzle at one end. When used as a rocket booster, it is filled with 66 Ibs. of water heated electrically to 504° F. The water cannot boil because it is confined, but its pressure rises to 50 atmospheres (735 Ibs. per sq. in.). When the valve is opened, part of the water turns into steam, and a jet of steam and water spurts out at 1,140 m.p.h. The reaction, Michely claims, can push an airplane forward just as efficiently as a fuel-burning...
