"Án amazed America read in the morning papers of May 11, 1960: 'Triton goes around globe submerged, retracing the route sailed by Magellan.' In a fantastic achievement, the Triton had completed a secret round-the-world voyage entirely under water. This almost unbelievable voyage of the world's largest and most powerful submarine was an important test of man's ability to endure long periods of confinement under the ocean's surface. The experiment was essential to America's newest defense system -- the Polaris submarine program. It also gave an indication of man's ability to journey in a sealed capsule to outer space."--Jacket.
