USS Maryland (SSBN 738): USS Maryland was christened and launched on 10 August 1991 during a ceremony held at the Electric Boat shipyard. Vice Admiral Kenneth C. Malley, Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, Vice Admiral Henry G. Chiles, Jr., Commander Submarine Force US Atlantic Fleet and Helen Delich Bentley, the U.S. representative for Maryland's 2nd congressional district were in attendance, along with ship sponsor, Sarah Craig Larson, wife of Admiral Charles R. Larson. On 13 June 1992, Maryland was formally commissioned into US Naval service.[8] The principal speaker was Admiral Charles R. Larson, Commander-in-Chief U.S. Pacific Command. Maryland departed Groton for Kings Bay on 15 June 1992 and immediately started preparation for strategic certification, with a successful test launch on 29 Jul 1992, and starting Trident D-5 missile Demonstration and Shakedown Operations (DASO) on 7 July 1992. DASO was completed on 22 October 1992. Various other inspections and training exercises were conducted throughout 1992. Maryland returned to Groton on 30 January 1993 for post-shakedown maintenance prior to assuming responsibility for strategic deterrent patrols. Maryland returned to Kings Bay, Georgia on 9 April 1993. Maryland completed various weapons and tactical certifications and then returned to Kings Bay on 4 May 1993 to join Submarine Squadron 20 and commence preparations for the first strategic deterrent patrol. The initial loadout of Trident D-5 missiles was completed at this point. On 19 June 1993 Maryland went underway on her first strategic deterrent patrol, which started her strategic patrol cycle. On 24 September 1993, Maryland ran aground at Port Canaveral, Florida, after conducting a medical evacuation of an ill crew member, and returned to Kings Bay to inspect for damage. Damage to the submarine was minimal, and the investigation found that the crew was not responsible. Maryland then resumed her second deterrent patrol on 26 September 1993. On 21 September 2012 Maryland combined crews in preparation for mid-life refueling and overhaul at Norfolk Naval Ship Yard. USS Maryland has been involved in several Follow-on Commander's Evaluation Tests (FCET) of its Trident II D5 SLBM missile system. The FCET launches a specially modified missile without a nuclear payload, and is used to test the performance of the Trident missile system. FCET 10, performed 3 January 1994. 4 missiles launched FCET 14, performed 21 April 1996. 2 missiles launched FCET 21, performed 26 April 1999. 2 missiles launched FCET 30, performed 5 November 2003. 2 missiles launched FCET 36, performed 21 November 2006. 2 missiles launched FCET 42, performed 8 June 2010. 2 missiles launched FCET 43, performed 9 June 2010. 2 missiles launched source: wikipedia |
