  Harvey Eugene Lyon, a retired rear admiral and submariner who helped to build Trident missile submarines in the 1970's, died on Monday at his home in Fairfax, Va. He was 71.

The cause was a heart attack, his family said.   April 1, 1995 New York Times

Admiral Lyon was born in McCook, Neb., graduated from the United States Naval Academy and did postgraduate work in electrical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He spent 30 years in the Navy, mostly on submarines.

He served in the Pacific in World War II and the Korean War. His assignments also took him to the Atomic Energy Commission.

On July 2, 1942, Harvey Eugene Lyon of McCook left for Baltimore to complete his exams for his entrance into the United States Naval academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The August 14, 1942, McCook Daily Gazette carried a story detailing his life so far as a midshipman. Harvey, son of Mrs. Mabel Lyon, had been a former Gazette carrier. In a letter to his mother, Lyon wrote, "The feeding of this large group of midshipmen is done in one huge mess hall underneath the rear terraces of Bancroft hall. The building is six hundred feet long and about one hundred feet wide. In it are fed something over three thousand young men, so you can imagine the size of the place."

Lyon had passed his swimming test but only 60 out of the 400 in his battalion had passed it. He was allowed to go to chapel, now that he had taken all of his "shots" and said it was a beautiful sight with 2,500 middies in their uniforms.
