USS Nevada (SSBN 733): On July 3, 1987, Nevada experienced an equipment failure during the transit to her newly assigned homeport in Bangor, Washington. Portions of the vessel's reduction gear were improperly installed, causing around $500,000 in damages and lost propulsion. While at sea, its crew made temporary repairs and returned to port on its own power. Nevada moored into Sitka, Alaska alongside USS Dixon (AS 37) on June 7, 1988. On November 4th, it moored at Naval Air Station Alameda and gave tours to the public. In 1989 Nevada was homeported at Kitsap Naval Base in Bangor, Washington. In August of 1990, Nevada visited the Long Beach Naval Shipyard in California. On April 29, 1993, Nevada successfully launched two UGM-96 Trident I (C4) missiles during a "Follow-on CINC Evaluation Test" (FCET) launch. This was performed again with 4 Tridents on 10 February 1998, one of the final C4 missile firings by a Pacific-based submarine before the fleet transitioned to the D5 missile. On 1 February 2001 Nevada entered the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington to undergo a significant refit to carry the new UGM-133 Trident II (D5) missiles, which required a backfit engineering process. This refit was completed 8 August 2002, extending its strategic capabilities. Following this conversion, on 11 December 2002, Nevada successfully launched a Trident II (D5) missile during a Demonstration and Shakedown Operation (DASO), this also marked the 100th successful launch of the D5 program. Following this last test, Nevada returned to operational status. The tests however continued, on 4 November 2004, when the submarine launched two Trident II (D5) missiles during a Commander Evaluation Test. During the night of 1-2 August 2006, Nevada was operating in the Strait of Juan de Fuca when she snagged and broke the 500-foot (150-metre) towline between the tug Phyllis Dunlap and one of two barges carrying empty containers that Phyllis Dunlap was towing from Honolulu, Hawaii, to Seattle, Washington. Fiberglass portions of Nevada's sail were damaged, and a second tug had to recover the drifting barge. In both 2005 and 2006 and again in 2018, Nevada's crew was awarded with the Battle Efficiency Award (Battle "E"). This award is given to the best submarine in its respective submarine squadron and is determined based on performance in inspections for tactical readiness and nuclear reactor safety, among other factors. In February 2008, Nevada entered Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, Bremerton Site for a regularly scheduled Engineering Refueling Overhaul. The 'Green' crew worked for nearly 30 months on the refit and refuel until they were separated back to the 'Gold' and 'Blue' crews on 21 July 2010 in preparation for workups and sea trials. Nevada was awarded the 2018 Omaha Trophy on 21 August 2019. The Blue and Gold crews received the trophy to recognize their high standards of performance in the command's mission areas. The ballistic missile submarine has been regarded as "one of the US Navy's most powerful weapons" in 2022. source: wikipedia |

Nevada ... is a landlocked state in the Western United States. It is also sometimes placed in the Mountain West and Southwestern United States. It borders Oregon to the northwest, Idaho to the northeast, California to the west, Arizona to the southeast, and Utah to the east. Nevada is the seventh-most extensive and the 32nd-most populous U.S. state. Nearly three-quarters of Nevada's population live in Clark County, which contains the Las Vegas-Paradise metropolitan area. Nevada's capital is Carson City. Las Vegas is the largest city in the state. |
