USS Ohio (SSGN-726), the lead ship of her class of nuclear-powered fleet ballistic missile submarines, was the fifth ship of the United States Navy to be named for the 17th state. She was commissioned with the hull designation of SSBN-726, and with her conversion to a conventional missile submarine she was re-designated SSGN-726.
The submarine is being escorted by 3 US Coast Guard ships: a 110 ft. patrol boat to the north, a 87 ft. boat to the south, and a Reliance class cutter farther behind. |  |
