The first commercial nuclear reactor in the United States, Shippingport, was derived from a reactor originally designed for a cancelled nuclear powered aircraft carrier. I haven't been able to find any information on this aircraft carrier, and I don't think the Shippingport reactor is related to the A1W/A2W series reactors that went on to power Enterprise. Does anyone have any information on the cancelled aircraft carrier and its power plants, as well as their relationship with Shippingport, the A1W/A2W series reactors, and the Enterprise? Were there any other plans for nuclear powered warships prior to Enterprise?
