USS Connecticut (SSN-22) Arc patch
USS Connecticut (SSN-22) is a Seawolf-classnuclear powered fast attack submarine operated by the United States Navy. Connecticut is the fifth active United States Ship to be named for the U.S. state of Connecticut, going back to 1776.
On 31 March 2004 Connecticut put to sea in support of the War on Terror as part of the WaspExpeditionary Strike Group (ESG), returning to NSB New London on 2 September with a pierside band blasting Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town". For the next three years, Connecticut was largely confined to port as she underwent a prolonged maintenance cycle.
In early 2007, it was announced that Connecticutwould be transferred to Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton, in Washington's Puget Sound, following a six-month deployment commencing on 25 July 2007. She would be the last of the Navy's three Seawolf-class submarines to be transferred from New London to Kitsap as part of a larger U.S. Navy realignment shifting 60% of the fleet's submarines to the Pacific. Upon arrival at Kitsap on 30 January 2008, Connecticut joined her Seawolfsisters in Submarine Development Squadron Five
