USS ''Toledo'' (SSN-769), a , was the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Toledo, Ohio. The contract to build her was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia on 10 June 1988 and her keel was laid down on 6 May 1991. She was launched on 28 August 1993 sponsored by Mrs. Sabra Smith, and commissioned on 24 February 1995, with Commander Jack Loye III in command. The submarine was a cover story of the 6 April 1998 issue ''US News & World Report''. ==Deployments== The USS ''Toledo'' returned to the Naval Submarine Base New London in mid-April 2003 after having taken part in Operation Iraqi Freedom. On 7 December 2004, ''Toledo'' returned to Groton, Connecticut, after a six-month deployment in the Persian Gulf with the carrier strike group that included port calls in Crete, Dubai, and Bahrain. Her route home from Bahrain was unusual, rounding the Cape of Good Hope rather than using the Suez Canal. Once back in the North Atlantic, she was diverted for a classified drug interdiction mission with the Joint Interagency Task Force–South in the Caribbean Sea. On 31 January 2006, ''Toledo'' again departed for a six-month deployment to CENTCOM. Port calls included Augusta Bay, Dubai, the British island territory of Diego Garcia and La Maddalena. The ship returned from this deployment on 31 July 2006 and a change of command ceremony took place in 2009 where Commander Reckamp relieved Commander Goldman. ''Toledo'' left for another six-month deployment on 23 July 2010. In December 2010 ''Toledo'' did a port call in Haifa. Commander Reckamp was received by the Haifa City Major Yona Yahav in the City Hall as is customary for visiting commanders of warships doing port calls in Haifa. On 20 January 2011, ''Toledo'' returned to Groton, Connecticut after a six-month deployment that included port calls in Cyprus, Bahrain, and Haifa. 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 Toledo (SSN-769)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
