Ohio (SSBN-726) is in the water, the Michigan (SSBN-727) is on her starboard side out of the water, and the Florida (SSBN-728) is partially visible (starboard/aft) in the large assembly building. The Boston (SSN-703) is barely visible just inside the open bay doors in the small assembly building closest to the starboard side of the Florida (SSBN-728) and the Phoenix is being launched. I believe that the City of Corpus Christi (SSN-705) is barely visible behind the closed bay doors to the port of the Phoenix. | USN photo courtesy of globalsecurity.org.

Four Ohio Class (SSBN-726-743) strategic missile submarines, Ohio, Michigan (SSBN-727), Florida (SSBN-728), and Georgia (SSBN-729), have been selected for transformation into a new platform,designated SSGN. The SSGNs will have the capability to support and launch up to 154 Tomahawk missiles, a significant increase in capacity compared to other platforms. The 22 missile tubes also will provide the capability to carry other payloads, such as unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Special Forces equipment. This new platform will also have the capability to carry and support more than 66 Navy SEALs (Sea, Air and Land) and insert them clandestinely into potential conflict areas. | U.S. Navy file photo,(http://www.news.navy.mil/index.asp) contributed by Lacy Lee, RM1 USN/Ret. | |

"This is an outstanding avenue to have," said Chief Electronics Technician (SS) Rock Lively, Navigation Operations Leading Chief Petty Officer, Ohio. "Through the [Submarine Piloting and Navigation 2000 trainer], we're able to see what lessons other boats learned through trial and error. We keep this training as real to life as possible, as to not make inadvertent maneuvers when we are out at sea.'
