The S1C was the prototype for the Tullibee (SSN-597), a small (approximately 2,300 tons displacement) hunter-killer submarine. The plant was designed and constructed by Combustion Engineering and was located at the company's plant in Windsor, Connecticut. The plant's design was unique in that steam turbines powered an electric propulsion motor, as opposed to a set of reduction gears. | | | | Source: | http://www.coldwar-ct.com/Knoll_Labs_-_Windsor.html | | | | Reference: | Hewlett, Richard G., and Francis Duncan.
