America's Sagebrush Navy premieres on Idaho Public Television on Monday, November 10, 2025 at 9:00 p.m. Mountain Time on the "Idaho Channel." This Monday, you'll be able to watch the Idaho Public Television documentary about Idaho's many contributions to the U.S. Navy, including acoustic research for submarines, nuclear propulsion for aircraft carriers and submarines, and the future USS IDAHO SSN-799. Idaho Public Television has been an incredible partner to the USS IDAHO Commissioning Committee. We congratulate them on this wonderful documentary! In the late 1940’s, Captain Hyman G. Rickover oversaw the creation of three prototype reactors in Idaho. Those reactors would be the test bed for the world’s first nuclear submarine and aircraft carrier. America’s Sagebrush Navy tells the story of the creation of the Nuclear Navy and how it changed America’s influence on a world stage.
