Nuclear Ship Launched In Quincy, Massachusetts, the U.S.S. Long Beach, America's first nuclear surface ship, is launched by the wife of California Congressman Hosmer (the christening requires two tries to break the bottle). The vessel, which will be armed with the latest guided missiles, is toured by Admiral Hyman Rickover. Sailors, crowds, ship.
