,
the lead ship of her class
, is the fourth submarine of the United States Navy
named for the seawolf
, a solitary fish with strong, prominent teeth and projecting tusks that give it a savage look.
She was launched
on 24 June 1995 and commissioned
on 19 July 1997 with Commander David M. McCall in command.
Seawolf was a product of the Cold War
, designed as a replacement for the Los Angeles class
submarines and as a response to the Soviet Akula class
. It is said that the Seawolf is quieter at its tactical speed of 25 knots than a Los Angeles submarine is pierside. Originally 29 were planned for production, but with the end of the Cold War, the cost was judged to be prohibitively high and only 3 were built in favor of the smaller Virginia class
submarines, which were expected to be about 10% cheaper.
