Hyman Rickover in Southern Victory Edit

Hyman Rickover was a captain in the U.S. Navy. A blunt man, Rickover was called before the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War in 1944, at the end of the Second Great War when the Confederate States was going down to defeat. The Committee, with little to do, attempted to grill Rickover about why the U.S. was having trouble matching German submersible designs. Rickover assured the Committee that the U.S would be building them faster than Germany did, but that the designs had only recently entered U.S. hands, and pointedly chastined a Dakota Senator for demanding the impossible.^[1]
