: And the Navy's top commander,
Adm. Robert B. Carney, saw the
historic occasion as an unfolding

Strauss praised the teamwork of

agencies, AEO and the - Navy,
which he said made possible crea

mention of a specific name, Rear
Adm. Hyman G. Rickover, telling
the admiral this was a job "well
done" and noting this must be an
occasion of "supreme gratifica
tion" for him.
Rickover, during turbulent behind-the-scenes
arguments in the
