What was the first nuclear-powered surface ship?
The U.S. Navy's USS Long Beach (CGN-9) & USS Enterprise (CVN-65) were the first Navy surface combatants to be powered by nuclear reactors. Both ship keels were laid within 2 months of each other, and commissioned at almost the same time. The Long Beach was commissioned a few weeks prior to the Enterprise, (September 9, 1961). The Enterprise was commissioned on November 25 of that same year.The Long Beach was the only ship of her class, and was the last cruiser built on a traditional cruiser hull. Subsequent cruisers were built on modified, scaled up destroyer hulls. The Long Beach was also the Navy's first guided missile cruiser, which showed the reality that missiles had finally replaced traditional guns for surface-surface engagements. She was decommissioned on July 2, 1994.The Enterprise was still on active service until December 2012, and is currently the oldest active commissioned warship in the Navy (The USS Constitution, though the oldest commissioned vessel, holds a ceremonial commission).Her hull type is a bit different from modern carriers, and her reactor configuration makes her more expensive to maintain. She is scheduled to be decommissioned in March 2013.
