[March 25, 2025] For many decades now, I’ve been a fan of U.S. Navy Admiral Hyman G. Rickover because he could identify, mentor, employ, and retain top-level officers. Rickover spent his entire career in the Navy, and with his exposure to the Oak Ridge Manhattan Project, he recognized the tremendous potential of nuclear technology.
