USS Connecticut (SSN-22) is the third and final Seawolf-class submarine — the pinnacle of American undersea warfare engineering. Commissioned December 11, 1998, she was designed to meet the most demanding Cold War threat environments: faster, deeper, and quieter than anything that had come before. Armed with eight torpedo tubes and built to defeat the best the Soviet Navy ever put to sea, Connecticut operates from Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, Washington, as one of the most formidable warships ever to sail beneath the surface. To serve aboard Connecticut is to serve on the best.
