I left boats long before the DREADNOUGHT , but in old age I am interested in how they crewed the DREADNOUGHT , there being no nuclear reactors in the RN before she was launched in 1960? I assume the Captain was given training in the USN as likely was the Senior Engineering Officer and perhaps others in the ward room and lower deck . Be grateful if anybody knows something about the training for this , the first RN Nuclear Submarine . Also when were RN people trained for nuclear submarine duties --- engineering and other , entirely in establishments in the UK ? Lofty
