USS Nautilus - USS Nautilus Six ships of the United States Navy have been named USS Nautilus. A popular ship's name in many languages for centuries, it derives from a Greek language word meaning "sailor" or "ship." The nautilus is also a tropical mollusk having a many-chambered, spiral shell with a pearly interior. A popular belief maintains that ships named Nautilus are named for the fictional submarine in the 1870 novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne. Indeed, the novel may have influenced the decisions to christen various submarines with this centuries-old name, but Captain Nemo's was not the first Nautilus. The first USS Nautilus, 12, was a schooner that served against the Tripolitan pirates and into the War of 1812. The second USS Nautilus was a.

USS Argonaut - USS Argonaut Two submarines of the United States Navy have borne the name USS Argonaut, after a relative of the octopus -- sometimes called the paper nautilus -- which propels itself underwater by expelling a jet of water. The name Argonaut may also have been inspired by the submarine of that name built in 1897 by Simon Lake that was the first submarine to navigate extensively in the open sea. Of course, the name is ultimately derived from the band of heroes in Greek legend who sailed with Jason in the ship Argo to retrieve the Golden Fleece. The first USS Argonaut (SM-1, SF-7, APS-1, SS-166) was lost during World War II. The second USS Argonaut (SS-475), a Tench-class submarine, served during World War II and.

Israeli attack on USS Liberty - Israeli attack on USS Liberty This page is currently NPOV disputed. Please see Talk:USS Liberty for a discussion of the current situation The USS Liberty was an American intelligence ship which was attacked in international waters near the Sinai Peninsula by Israeli aircraft and torpedo boats during the Six Day War between Israel and the Arab States.
