May 6, 1962: USS Ethan Allen (SSBN 608) conducted the only detonation test 11,000 feet over the South Pacific of a SLBM with a live nuclear warhead, launching a Polaris with a 600 kT warhead during the Operation Dominic "Frigate Bird" test.


In Tom Clancy's novel The Hunt for Red October (published 1984), the USS Ethan Allen is blown up as a decoy in order to convince the Russian Navy that the Red October has been destroyed.


Rachel, Nevada was founded in May, 1973. On Rachel Day on May 6, 1995 a park was dedicated to its founder, World War II vet, alfalfa farmer, and homesteader Delbert Clois Day.

Things were getting desperate for D.C. when he hit upon the idea of subdividing some of his land and selling it as housing lots.[20] This was strange idea in the early 1970s because of the remoteness of the area. All that was here then were struggling farms and some very small mining operations, and Union Carbide had not yet reactivated the mine. Why would anyone buy land so far from civilization? Ed Gunderson on the other side of the valley had tried the same without much luck, but D.C. fared better owing to his better location. Ed and Laura Fallis were the first to buy land in the subdivision, then Union Carbide reopened the Lincoln Mine around 1976, and D.C.'s struggling subdivision, being the closest private land, promised to become a real town.

Union Carbide was a difficult neighbor, however. When it became clear that the mine would be reopened, that's when D.C. says the harassment began.[21] State inspectors from Las Vegas and Carson City descended on D.C.'s tiny subdivision and started to find fault where there had been none before. One inspector forced a new landowner to cap off his well and fill it with concrete because he had drilled it himself and not used a licensed drilling company, even though the well itself was sound.[22] Another inspector demanded that D.C. rip up all the PVC piping he had installed to supply water in his new trailer park because the law only required a lower quality piping.[23] "Every time we turned a shovel of dirt up out here they'd try to stop us." says D.C.

"We could never prove it," he says[24], "but Union Carbide had started a subdivision in Alamo. They wanted their employees to buy or live in Alamo... I sold some land in the subdivision to a friend of mine down at Alamo and they told him, `If you buy land down in Penoyer Valley, look for another job.'"
