NR-1 factoid - she is also referred to as a "Nerwin class DSVN" and/or "NR-1 Nerwin - nuclear powered research DSV sub". It is generally acknowledged that NR-1 was Admiral Hyman Rickover's "pet project" and was constructed at his behest - even though there was never a real need for a nuclear powered submersible research vehicle.
