History:
USS Connecticut (SSN-22) is the second Seawolf-class fast attack submarine, commissioned in 1998. Like its sister ships, USS Seawolf and USS Jimmy Carter, Connecticut was designed for stealth, speed, and deep-sea operations, capable of hunting enemy submarines and surface ships, gathering intelligence, and supporting special forces.
At 353 feet long and displacing over 9,100 tons submerged, Connecticut is among the quietest and most advanced attack submarines ever built. It incorporates advanced sonar, weapons systems, and a reinforced hull for deep diving.
The submarine serves a variety of missions including anti-submarine warfare, strike missions with torpedoes and missiles, and intelligence gathering. USS Connecticut (SSN-22) continues to be a key component of the U.S. Navy’s undersea capabilities.
