Do you happen to have a link to the info on the nuclear weapons, and also the Royal Navy/U Boat naval battle???

In normal circumstances, no.
However, in all fairness, at the time of this (1958) there was a good deal of research into using nuclear explosives for excavation purposes. I am not sure of any research for Mining per se, and I dont think it would be useful, as the blast would irradiate the metals you are seeking, making them useless for several hundred years.
