Hyman G. Rickover TLS
<B>Hyman G. Rickover Typed Letter Signed</B></I> "<I>H. G. Rickover</B></I>". Two pages, 8" x 10.5", on United States Atomic Energy Commission letterhead, Washington, D.C., [June 27, 1969], to Commander S. N. Levey, commanding officer of the U.S.S. George Bancroft. In this important letter Rickover identifies a problem of underutilizing Engineering officers aboard nuclear powered ships. It reads in part: "A number of the Division officers on nuclear powered ships feel, with some justification, that they are not assigned challenging tasks, or given appropriate responsibility or authority...I suggest that you examine this situation as it might apply to your own ship...and are personally holding each [Division officer] responsible for the personnel and material matters of his Division." <BR><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)<BR><BR><B>Important
