This photograph of President Theodore Roosevelt oldest daughter from 1903 when she was 18 years old, her name was Alice Roosevelt also nicknamed Princess Alice at the time, and in 1903 she went onboard a US Navy submarine, not deployed, which was in Newport, Rhode Island, and became the first female ever to be on a submarine. Remember, her father was President of the USA, and he satisfied her curiosity in that manner. In 1960, when she was 75 years old, she helped commission the submarine USS Theodore Roosevelt, SSBN-600, by breaking the champagne bottle on its hull, which was part of the USS George Washington, SSBN-598, class of the Polaris nuclear ballistic missile boats. I served from 1979 until 1981 on the USS Robert E. Lee, SSBN -601 which was decommissioned in 1982 due to it being obsolete by then.
