The first nuclear powered submarine was the USS Nautilus.
A nuclear-powered submarine is different from a conventional submarine because it is powered by a nuclear reactor instead of diesel engines or batteries. This allows it to stay submerged for longer periods of time and travel at faster speeds. Additionally, nuclear-powered submarines do not need to surface as frequently for refueling, giving them greater endurance and operational range.
The USS Nautilus (SSN-571) was the world's first operational nuclear-powered submarine.

Off of which coast did the U.S.S. Greenville, a nuclear-powered submarine, strike a Japanese fishing boat?
Most people would use the abbreviation 'sub.' The US Navy uses the prefix SS to indicate a submarine. If it is SSN, it would indicate a Nuclear Powered submarine and SSBN would be a ballistic missile nuclear powered sub.
A nuclear powered submarine can remain submerged for as long as it has fuel rods and supplies for the crew.

The first nuclear powered submarine was the U.S. Navy's USS Nautilus, SSN-571. A link is provided.
A nuclear-powered submarine generates energy through nuclear fission to power its propulsion systems, allowing it to transport its crew from New Orleans to Mobile. The nuclear reactor on board the submarine heats water into steam, which drives turbines to move the submarine through the water at high speeds efficiently and silently.
