1916 - USS E-2 (ex-STURGEON) (SS-25) decommissioned at New York Navy Yard, New York, NY; used as a laboratory for exhaustive tests of the Edison storage battery.
1968 - PCU BLUEFISH (SSN-675) keel laid as BLUEFISH at the Electric Boat Division, General Dynamics Corporation, Groton, CT.
1982 - PCU ALBUQUERQUE (SSN-706) launched at the Electric Boat Division, General Dynamics, Groton, CT.
1986 - USS NATHANAEL GREENE (SSBN-636) ran aground in the Irish Sea, suffering external damage to her ballast tanks and rudder. A spokesman for the U.S. Navy said "There was no effect on the propulsion, no injuries and no damage to the Poseidon nuclear missiles." The submarine initially sailed to Holy Loch, Scotland, under her own power for emergency repairs. She left Scotland on 25 April and traveled submerged to Charleston, SC. The extent of the damage subsequently lead to a decision to decommission the vessel, partly in order to satisfy SALT II limitations.
1986 - USS ATLANTA (SSN-712) ran aground entering the Mediterranean through the Straits of Gibraltar.
1993 - PCU MONTPELIER (SSN-765) commissioned USS MONTPELIER (SSN-765) at Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, Newport News, VA.
2004 - the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Roosevelt (DDG 80) and USS TOLEDO (SSN-769) operated together in the Atlantic Ocean. Roosevelt was part of the USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and was taking part in a Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX), which is an intermediate level training exercise, designed to forge ships in the Kennedy CSG into a cohesive fighting team.
