USS Ohio (SSGN-726) Full Ship's Crest Sweatshirt

USS Ohio (SSGN-726) began her life as the lead ship of the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines, commissioned on November 11, 1981. After the Cold War, she was converted from an SSBN to a guided-missile submarine (SSGN) under the 2002 Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty, re-emerging in 2002 capable of carrying up to 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles and supporting special operations forces. One of the most powerful conventional strike platforms in naval history, Ohio transformed the submarine's role from nuclear deterrence to precision conventional strike and special operations support.
