Community members came together this week to enjoy the film Idaho's Nuclear Navy produced by Idaho Experience on the big screen at the Egyptian Theatre. 

USS IDAHO SSN 799 Submarine Commissioning Committee and Idaho Public Television hosted the event showing the film, a documentary on Idaho’s nuclear Navy. Honor Guard members from the Idaho National Guard presented the colors and Idaho Military Division’s key leadership was invited to attend. 
 
Governor Brad Little, the honorable Dirk Kempthorne and Jeff Tucker, general manager for Idaho Public Television, were keynote speakers and introduced the film. 
 
The film is a documentary on the development and retirement of three nuclear propulsion prototypes A1W, S1W and S5G that were developed for submarines at the Naval Reactors Facility. Since the early 1950s, the NRF has been supporting the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program through testing, examination and spent fuel management. The program trained nearly 40,000 Navy personnel to operate nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers from the early 1950s to the mid-1990s. 
 
FUTURE IMPORTANT DATES: The USS IDAHO SSN 799, will be formally named and christened on March 16 at General Dynamics Electric Boat Shipyard in Groton, Connecticut, and will be christened with a bottle containing water from four of Idaho’s lakes, Lake Pend Oreille, Payette Lake, Henrys Lake and Redfish Lake. This is the first U.S. Navy warship to bear the name USS IDAHO in more than 100 years; the battleship USS IDAHO BB42 was christened in June 1917. The commissioning ceremony of the USS IDAHO and the ship’s final departure will be in spring of 2025.
