| Zusammenfassung: | "Following the Second World War, Dan Summitt cruised the China Sea in a destroyer. During the Cold War, he worked with Adm. Hyman Rickover and commanded two nuclear submarines. In Tales of a Cold War Submariner, Summitt tells the dramatic story of his military life on and under the sea, focusing on his experiences with nuclear submarines and Admiral Rickover, "the father of the nuclear navy." His stories, anecdotes, and detailed descriptions bring this tense era to life for the reader." "Summitt recounts his service as commander of the USS Seadragon on its secret mission to the North Pole, where he rendezvoused with the USS Skate to conduct experiments under the ice. Following a posting to Naval Reactors, Summitt then took command of the USS Alexander Hamilton, one of forty-one Polaris-class submarines in the U.S. fleet. A submarine of this class was 425 feet long and carried sixteen Polaris missiles, each thirty-five feet tall and weighing thirty-five thousand pounds. Summitt takes the reader on a tour of the spacious vessel, describing everything from its living quarters to practice missile launches to the coveralls worn by the crew. He recounts Christmas at the Duke of Argyle's castle, discusses the difficulties of steering with a single propeller, and describes how the Alexander Hamilton was almost lost because of a faulty needle piston that prevented the snorkel's head valve from shutting properly, a reminder that even the most sophisticated machine can be undone by a simple mechanical failure."--Jacket |

During the Cold War, he worked with Adm. Hyman Rickover and commanded two nuclear submarines. In Tales of a Cold War Submariner, Summitt tells the dramatic story of his military life on and under the sea, focusing on his experiences with nuclear submarines and Admiral Rickover, "the father of the nuclear navy." His stories, anecdotes, and detailed descriptions bring this tense era to life for the reader." "Summitt recounts his service as commander of the USS Seadragon on its secret mission to the North Pole, where he rendezvoused with the USS Skate to conduct experiments under the ice. Following a posting to Naval Reactors, Summitt then took command of the USS Alexander Hamilton, one of forty-one Polaris-class submarines in the U.S. fleet. A submarine of this class was 425 feet long and carried sixteen Polaris missiles, each thirty-five feet tall and weighing thirty-five thousand pounds. Summitt takes the reader on a tour of the spacious vessel, describing everything from its living quarters to practice missile launches to the coveralls worn by the crew. He recounts Christmas at the Duke of Argyle's castle, discusses the difficulties of steering with a single propeller, and describes how the Alexander Hamilton was almost lost because of a faulty needle piston that prevented the snorkel's head valve from shutting properly, a reminder that even the most sophisticated machine can be undone by a simple mechanical failure."--Jacket</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Contents -- Preface -- 1 How It All Started -- 2 My Destroyer Days -- 3 My Early Submarine Days -- 4 Annapolis and West Point -- 5 Back to Sea Duty -- 6 Nuclear Power Training -- 7 Duty aboard Sargo -- 8 Prospective Commanding Officer Training -- 9 Seadragon Operations -- 10 Off to the Arctic -- 11 Seadragon and Skate Conduct Joint Operations -- 12 Heading Home -- 13 Final Days aboard Seadragon -- 14 Working at Naval Reactors -- 15 Preparing for Command of USS -- 16 Command of USS Alexander Hamilton -- 17 Duty with comsublant Staff -- 18 comsubflot 8</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="8" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">19 The Pentagon and RetirementAppendix: USS Seadragon Sailing List -- Index</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Summitt, Dan,</subfield><subfield code="d">1924-</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2004002393</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">United States.</subfield><subfield code="b">Navy</subfield><subfield code="x">Officers</subfield><subfield code="v">Biography.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="1" ind2="0"><subfield code="a">United States.</subfield><subfield code="b">Navy</subfield><subfield code="x">Submarine forces</subfield><subfield code="x">History</subfield><subfield code="y">20th century.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="600" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Summitt, Dan,</subfield><subfield code="d">1924-</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="610" ind1="1" ind2="7"><subfield code="a">United States.</subfield><subfield code="b">Navy</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Admirals</subfield><subfield code="z">United States</subfield><subfield code="v">Biography.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Cold War.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh88005637</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Amiraux</subfield><subfield code="z">États-Unis</subfield><subfield code="v">Biographies.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Guerre froide.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY</subfield><subfield code="x">General.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING</subfield><subfield code="x">Marine & Naval.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING</subfield><subfield code="x">Military Science.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Admirals</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Armed Forces</subfield><subfield code="x">Officers</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Armed Forces</subfield><subfield code="x">Submarine forces</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="651" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">United States</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrq</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="647" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Cold War</subfield><subfield code="d">(1945-1989)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield><subfield code="1">https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39Qhp4vBbvhYhcM6fy9r83JBX</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">1900 -

"Following the Second World War, Dan Summitt cruised the China Sea in a destroyer. During the Cold War, he worked with Adm. Hyman Rickover and commanded two nuclear submarines. In Tales of a Cold War Submariner, Summitt tells the dramatic story of his military life on and under the sea, focusing on his experiences with nuclear submarines and Admiral Rickover, "the father of the nuclear navy." His stories, anecdotes, and detailed descriptions bring this tense era to life for the reader." "Summitt recounts his service as commander of the USS Seadragon on its secret mission to the North Pole, where he rendezvoused with the USS Skate to conduct experiments under the ice. Following a posting to Naval Reactors, Summitt then took command of the USS Alexander Hamilton, one of forty-one Polaris-class submarines in the U.S. fleet. A submarine of this class was 425 feet long and carried sixteen Polaris missiles, each thirty-five feet tall and weighing thirty-five thousand pounds. Summitt takes the reader on a tour of the spacious vessel, describing everything from its living quarters to practice missile launches to the coveralls worn by the crew. He recounts Christmas at the Duke of Argyle's castle, discusses the difficulties of steering with a single propeller, and describes how the Alexander Hamilton was almost lost because of a faulty needle piston that prevented the snorkel's head valve from shutting properly, a reminder that even the most sophisticated machine can be undone by a simple mechanical failure."--Jacket Contents -- Preface -- 1 How It All Started -- 2 My Destroyer Days -- 3 My Early Submarine Days -- 4 Annapolis and West Point -- 5 Back to Sea Duty -- 6 Nuclear Power Training -- 7 Duty aboard Sargo -- 8 Prospective Commanding Officer Training -- 9 Seadragon Operations -- 10 Off to the Arctic -- 11 Seadragon and Skate Conduct Joint Operations -- 12 Heading Home -- 13 Final Days aboard Seadragon -- 14 Working at Naval Reactors -- 15 Preparing for Command of USS -- 16 Command of USS Alexander Hamilton -- 17 Duty with comsublant Staff -- 18 comsubflot 8 19 The Pentagon and RetirementAppendix: USS Seadragon Sailing List -- Index Summitt, Dan, 1924- http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2004002393 United States.
