USS Bluefish (SSN-675)

USS Bluefish (SSN-675)

USS "Bluefish" (SSN-675), a "Sturgeon"-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the bluefish. The contract to build her was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on 15 July 1966 and her keel was laid down on 13 March 1968. She was launched on 10 January 1970 sponsored by Mrs. David Packard, and commissioned on 8 January 1971, with Commander Richard A. Peterson in command.

"Bluefish" was decommissioned with Commander Richard C. West in command and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 31 May 1996. Ex-"Bluefish" entered the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program in Bremerton, Washington, and on 1 November 2003 ceased to exist.
