USS ''Albuquerque'' (SSN-706), a ''Los Angeles''-class attack submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Albuquerque, New Mexico. The contract to build her was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on 31 October 1973 and her keel was laid down on 27 December 1979. She was launched on 13 March 1982 sponsored by Mrs. Nancy L. Domenici, and commissioned on 21 May 1983 with Captain Richard H. Hartman in command. ==1983-1989== In October 1983, Captain Hartman was replaced as Commanding Officer by Captain Scott L. Sears. ''Albuquerque'' spent the remainder of 1983 engaged in operations at sea completing a variety of tests, examinations, certifications, and inspections. 〔From: Commanding O f f i c e r , USS ALBUQUERQUE (SSN 706) To: D i r e c t o r o f Naval H i s t o r y (OP-OgBH), Washington Navy Yard, Washington DC 20374 Subj: SUBMISSION OF COMMAND HISTORY 18 OCT 1983 - Captain Richard H.

In May, she transited to the Florida coast for weapons and combat systems certifications. During the summer, she participated in a fleet exercise and took part in a midshipman training cruise. In August, ''Albuquerque'' began normal operations from her home port. October and November brought extended operations at sea in the Atlantic Ocean, and, in December, she underwent additional repairs at Electric Boat. ''Albuquerque'' began 1985 with sonar training and weapons systems drills in her local operating area. In February, she completed preparations for a two-month patrol that began on 27 February, returning home at the beginning of May. Operations along the East Coast occupied her time until mid-June when ''Albuquerque'' went back to sea. Two months later, she returned and took up local duty until November when she cruised to Florida to serve as a school ship for prospective commanding officers. ''Albuquerque'' resumed local operations out of her home port in December. On 14 January 1986, ''Albuquerque'' entered Electric Boat Shipyard for a two-month restricted availability. In March, she began alternating between local evolutions and upkeep in her home port until late May. Between 19 May and 14 September, ''Albuquerque'' remained at sea, making port calls in Scotland and England. She returned home in mid-September and, after post-deployment standdown, reported to Exuma Sound late in October for sound trials. She returned to Groton briefly at the beginning of November, but put to sea on 4 November to take part in two fleet exercises. Upkeep at New London, Connecticut, took up the period between 24 November and 7 December and an ASW exercise consumed most of December. On 3 December 1986, Captain Sears was replaced as Commander by Captain John T. Byrd. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「USS Albuquerque (SSN-706)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
