USS Bremerton (SSN 698): On 11 March 1999, Bremerton used one torpedo to sink the derelict forebody of the merchant ship New Carissa off the Oregon coast. USS David R. Ray assisted in sinking the ship. After a successful Western Pacific deployment, in September 2003 Bremerton changed its homeport to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Bremerton spent two months in drydock at Pearl Harbor ending 21 January 2010. When USS Los Angeles was decommissioned on 23 January 2010, Bremerton became the oldest commissioned submarine in the US fleet. On that day, Richard O'Kane's cribbage board was transferred from Los Angeles to Bremerton, a tradition that dates back to World War II. When Bremerton was inactivated in 2018, the cribbage board was transferred from Bremerton to USS Olympia (SSN-717). In January 2011, Bremerton was adopted by its namesake city, along with a partnership of community members and organizations led by the Bremerton-Olympic Peninsula Council of the US Navy League. In February 2015, Bremerton visited the City of Bremerton. On 15 June 2016, the 35-year-old submarine completed her 15th deployment. Although originally scheduled for decommissioning in 2017, USS Bremerton's life was extended for an unspecified period. On 20 July 17, 2017, she became the longest-commissioned U.S. Navy submarine, surpassing USS Kamehameha (SSBN-642) at the time. On 6 April 2018, she returned to Pearl Harbor from her final deployment, soon to be decommissioned. On 20 April 2018, USS Bremerton left Pearl Harbor for the last time en route to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington, to enter the submarine recycling program. Bremerton had her decommissioning ceremony 18 May 2021, at the U.S. Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, Washington, though the actual decommissioning did not occur until later that year. Due to COVID restrictions, crewmembers were not allowed to attend the event in person, but SUBGRU 9 streamed the event live globally via Facebook Live and YouTube. Bremerton was officially decommissioned 21 May 2021. source: wikipedia |
