==Service history==
USS ''Montepelier'' was the first submarine to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles in Operation Iraqi Freedom. She would go on to fire all 20 missiles earning her a "clean sweep" under the command of CDR William J. Frake.
On 27 May 2004 ''Montpelier'' went through an 18-month Depot Modernization Period (DMP) at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. The ship and crew completed this period three months ahead of schedule and, after successfully completing sea trials returned to their home port in Virginia.〔Kenny, ELizabeth, "Shipyard Boosted by Submarine’s Arrival", ''Portsmouth Herald'', 28 May 2004.〕 The boat entered Norfolk Naval Shipyard on 5 February 2010 for modernization, maintenance, and upgrades, expected to cost around $35 million for 640,000-man hours, and included changing the submarine's buoyancy characteristics and upgrading its sonar capabilities. The work was completed and the sub returned to the fleet on 26 July 2010, eight days earlier than scheduled.〔Wiltrout, Kate, "Submarine's Upgrades Completed Early, Under Budget", ''Norfolk Virginian-Pilot'', 3 August 2010.〕
