Rickover,&#8221; he said, to a loud, standing ovation at Naval Reactors headquarters on the Washington Navy Yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mabus said <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">also <\/span><span class=\"rte rte-comment\">named <\/span>the chief of naval operations&#8217; wife, Darleen Greenert, will be the ship&#8217;s sponsor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ceremony \u2014 <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">which was <\/span>attended by <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Navy <\/span>Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jon Greenert, <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">and <\/span>head of Naval Reactors Adm. John Richardson, and Frank Klotz, head of the Nuclear Security Administration \u2014 focused on the <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">importance of the <\/span>Navy&#8217;s nuclear program and Rickover&#8217;s legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greenert extolled the virtues of nuclear power, saying that it was the most cost effective, reliable and adaptable form of energy available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nuclear power, he said, is the core of U.S. sea power, from nuclear deterrence <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">mission <\/span>to the presence missions around the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The carrier is the international symbol of U.S. sea power,&#8221; he said of the nuclear-powered flattops. &#8220;You don&#8217;t believe me, try and retire one,&#8221; he said, a reference to the congressional ruckus raised when the Navy proposed an early retirement<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">retiring<\/span> for the carrier George Washington last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richardson, who as the NR director leads the organization Rickover created, pointed out that more than 130,000 sailors and officers have gone through nuclear training since the program&#8217;s inception. Klotz said that since Nautilus had its fateful 1955 underway, nuclear power has propelled ships 155 million <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">nautical <\/span>miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"623\" height=\"800\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635564162165284888-hyman-rickover-1955jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635564162165284888-hyman-rickover-1955jpg.jpg 623w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635564162165284888-hyman-rickover-1955jpg.jpg?resize=234,300 234w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span>Adm. Hyman G.

Rickover was a small man who has cast<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">s<\/span> an outsized shadow over the fleet. The Navy&#8217;s longest-serving officer, he lorded over Naval Reactors for more than 33 years, retiring after 63 years of naval service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One sign of his influence is that his name still induces respect and fear in the Silent Service. A relentless bureaucrat, the Naval Academy grad <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">Rickover&#8217;s name inspires both respect and fear in the fleet. A meticulous man, he <\/span>pieced together an organization with sprawling responsibilities and power to oversee what was then regarded<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">seen<\/span> as a new and hazardous energy source. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rickover was confrontational and exacting, instilling the &#8220;trust but verify&#8221; mindset <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">culture<\/span> that distinguishes the nuclear Navy from all other branches of the service. <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">And still a new and in the fleet. His leadership style was brash, blunt and confrontational, but The <\/span>His near-flawless reactor safety record \u2014 the Navy has never had a major nuclear accident \u2014 is a testament to his foresight and leadership<span class=\"rte rte-comment\">his skills as a leader: the Navy has never had a major nuclear accident<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the ceremony, Greenert recounted that the service did an 18-month review to find out if there was a better option than nuclear power for <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">the plant of <\/span>the Ohio-class replacement boomers, but the service came up blank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Nuclear power will be in the fleet through at least 2080,&#8221; Greenert said, meaning Rickover&#8217;s legacy will stretch beyond a century. <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">100 years as well.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As nuclear-powered submarine Nautilus is celebrated, Navy announces next sub will be named after Adm.
