The nuclear submarines Nautilus and Skate were able to navigate below the what in 1958?
Both boats were the first submarines to navigate under the Arctic ice pack. However, the Skate actually surfaced through the ice, whereas the Nautilus did not.
Under Ice navigation, even with modern Sonar, is not easy because of the constant movement of the Arctic ice pack. Though shipping noise is a lot less because of the location, the constant ice movement produces many cracks, pops, hisses, and other noises that make it difficult to detect a stationary submarine that may be surfaced and running with minimal machinery. Detection ranges are also severely limited.
If you wish to see some pictures of Submarine under-ice surfacings, check my Supervisor bio page - I've added some pics from our historic 1986 mission to the North Pole, taken from a C-130 aircraft flown there to document the event. There were 3 boats in all - my own, the RAY, the Archerfish, and the Hawkbill. We all surfaced within a couple of hundred yards, though the Hawkbill surfaced about 30 yards from RAY.
I was actually promoted to First Class on the ice at the North Pole along with a few others as well, and it says so on my promotion certificate. It was a tough trip - we lost our refrigerant capability about 2 weeks after leaving port, being unable to stop all Freon leaks. Freon when heated changes to deadly Phosgene gas, which is a real problem when you're under the ice and can't surface immediately to snorkel and get rid of toxic air. We lost our freezers and the food in them as well. We put fresh, refrigerated stuff in an empty Torpedo tube, as the water in the Arctic is a constant 28 degrees F. We ate a lot of canned stuff, and I've never been able to eat Ham and Cheese together since it was pretty much all we had. We even chopped ice to keep fresh supplies we got from one of the Ice camps, but it didn't last long. I lost over 60 lbs on that trip, others even more.

What were the problems with submarines?
According to the commander of the nuclear submarine Skate, older submarine engines required oxygen to operate (diesels); therefore, they were only good for surface running. Underwater, submarines ran on batteries which didn't last for a long time. Admiral Hyman Rickover was the driving force in the 1950s behind putting nuclear reactors in submarines. This made the feats of the Nautilus and the Skate in August 1958 possible. Read Surface At the Pole by Commander Calvert.
What was the first ship to get to the north pole USS?
The first surface vessel to reach the North Pole was the Russian nuclear-powered icebreaker Arktika Sailing from Murmansk, it broke its way through the ice, and reached the North Pole on August 17, 1977. Arktika is a Nenets word meaning 'End of the Earth'. A rather apt name.

How does a sea skate move?
A sea skate moves primarily by using its broad, flattened pectoral fins, which it flaps in a manner similar to flying, allowing it to glide gracefully through the water. It also employs its tail for propulsion, helping to steer and maneuver. This combination of fin and tail movement enables the sea skate to navigate effectively across the seafloor and in open water.
