HC Deb 14 February 1962 vol 653 c157W
59. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Minister of Transport what British observers have been present during the maiden voyage of the first nuclear-powered merchant ship "Savannah".

Vice-Admiral Hughes Hallett

The "Savannah" has not yet made her first voyage under nuclear power. She was recently moved from Camden, New Jersey, to Yorktown, Virginia, under conventional auxiliary power. No United Kingdom observers were on board.
