Nautilus, a species of cephalopod (Nautilus pompilius) of the warm waters of the tropical Pacific. It was also the name given to four
submarines of note: (1) the one built by
Robert Fulton in 1801; (2) a conventionally powered submarine of 1732 tons lent in 1931 to the Australian polar explorer
Sir George Hubert Wilkins for a voyage under the polar
ice cap. (3) The name of the world's first nuclear-powered submarine built by the General Dynamics (Electric Boat) Corporation for the US Navy. Her keel was laid on 14 June 1952 and on 17 January 1955 her captain sent the historic signal: ‘under way on nuclear power.’ Her length was 99 metres (324 ft) and she had a surface displacement of 3,539 tons, and a submerged top speed of 20 knots. In August 1958 she succeeded where the earlier submarine of the same name had failed, in making the passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic under the polar ice cap, reaching the pole itself on 3 August. An important factor in the success of this voyage was the system of
inertial navigation with which she was fitted. (4) The name of the submarine in which Captain Nemo sailed 20,000
leagues under the sea in the well-known novel of that name by
Jules Verne (1828–1905), published in 1869.
