 Walt and Admiral Charles C. Kirkpatrick watch on as Mrs. Mildred Nelson, wife of the chief machinist on the the first nuclear-powered submarine, USS Nautilus, christens Disneyland sub D-301, also named “Nautilus” on June 14, 1959.

Walt congratulated Joe on his efforts and presented him with a plaque designating him as the “Commander-in-Chief of the Disneyland Navy.” However, Walt was quick to note “But don’t forget, that I am still the overall secretary of defense.”
