USS ''Dallas'' (SSN-700) is a nuclear-powered attack submarine of the United States Navy. She is the Navy's second ship of that name, and the first to be named for the city of Dallas, Texas, although another two ships were scheduled but never completed. ==Career== The contract to build ''Dallas'' 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 9 October 1976. She was launched on 28 April 1979 sponsored by Mrs. William P. Clements, Jr., and commissioned on 18 July 1981, with Captain Donald R. Ferrier in command. ''Dallas'' was the first submarine of the SSN 688 class to be originally built with an all-digital fire control (tracking and weapon) system and sonar system. After commissioning, ''Dallas'' was attached to Submarine Development Squadron TWELVE, New London, Connecticut, where she was involved in many research and development projects. Since September 1988, ''Dallas'' has been a member of Submarine Squadron TWO, New London, Connecticut. During her time with Squadron TWO, she completed the first ever Depot Modernization Period and various overseas deployments. ''Dallas'' recently completed an Engineered Refueling Overhaul (ERO) at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The D1G-2 core was replaced with a D2W core. ''Dallas'' has had a removable Dry Deck Shelter for over a decade.〔http://www.navy.mil/navydata/cno/n87/usw/issue_7/losangelesclass.htm〕 This large chamber, fitted aft of the sail, has an array of air, water and hydraulic systems that allow Dallas to employ the latest submarine arsenal: the Swimmer Delivery Vehicle — a highly mobile and virtually undetectable means of carrying out special forces missions. ''Dallas'' has completed one deployment to the Indian Ocean, four Mediterranean Sea deployments, two Persian Gulf deployments, and seven deployments to the North Atlantic. On 27 August 1981 ''Dallas'' damaged her lower rudder when she ran aground while approaching the Atlantic Underwater Test and Evaluation Center site at Andros Island, Bahamas. The submarine worked herself free after several hours and returned on the surface to New London, Connecticut, for repairs. In 2013 the US Navy announced that ''Dallas'' would be retired in 2014, however this was later extended to Fiscal Year 2017. The (Dallas Maritime Museum ), to be located along the banks of the Trinity River (Texas), is planned to contain some components of the original ship, such as its sail. 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 Dallas (SSN-700)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
