USS ''Bremerton'' (SSN-698), a ''Los Angeles''-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Bremerton, Washington. The contract to build her was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on 24 January 1972 and her keel was laid down on 8 May 1976. She was launched on 22 July 1978 sponsored by Mrs. Henry M. Jackson, and commissioned on 28 March 1981 with Captain Thomas H. Anderson in command. On 11 March 1999, ''Bremerton'' used one torpedo to sink the derelict forebody of the merchant ship ''New Carissa'' off the Oregon coast. The USS ''David R. Ray'' also participated in the sinking.〔(NEW CARISSA IS FINALLY BURIED AT SEA )〕 After a successful Western Pacific deployment, in September 2003 ''Bremerton'' changed its homeport to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
