Fifth Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine added to line-up at Naval Base Point Loma

[SD UT] The USS Greeneville on Monday was added to the stable of Los Angeles-class, fast-attack submarines that are homeported in San Diego Bay as part of Submarine Squadron 11.

Naval Base Point Loma now has five of the nuclear-powered submarines, which are regularly sent on deployment to the Indo-Pacific, sometimes to help protect carrier strike groups based in San Diego.

Greeneville operates with a crew of roughly 155 sailors and is capable of firing land-attack Tomahawk cruise missiles that travel upwards of 900 miles.

Greeneville — which bears the name of Greeneville, Tennessee, the home of Andrew Johnson, the nation’s 17th president — was commissioned 28 years ago, making it one of the oldest submarines in the Navy. It recently finished a 30-month engineering overhaul at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine.

"(Our) crew has demonstrated their professionalism and resilience in safely bringing Greeneville to our new home," Commanding Officer Chad Tella said in a prepared statement. "I could not be more proud of each and every crewmember."

#4 I didn't know PNSY was still in operation. I was there 50 years ago on USS Will Rogers.
