Navy Nukes are like the SEALS of engineering academics. Admiral Rickover was a fascinating man and worth reading into if you like history and technological marvels.

Buddy of mine went through nuke school. Was literally standing in line to walk at graduation when they told him his GPA was like a fraction of a point too low. He could either repeat a huge chunk of the course or get transferred to a different rate. He chose the latter and we met at A-school in Florida.

Smartest guy I ever met, hands down. Just astoundingly capable.
