 USS Will Rogers (SSBN-659) Details

USS Will Rogers (SSBN-659) 		Hull number SSBN-659

          


USS Will Rogers (SSBN-659) was a Benjamin Franklin class ballistic missile submarine — the last of the "41 for Freedom" Polarissubmarines. She was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for humorist Will Rogers (1879–1935).

Following shakedown, Will Rogers culminated her initial training and work-up by conducting a successful Polaris ballistic missile launch on the Atlantic Missile Range off Cape Kennedy, Florida, on 31 July 1967. In October 1967, she began her first strategic deterrent patrol.

Will Rogers was based at Groton until 1974 when she shifted to a forward deployment at Naval Station Rota, Spain. Around this time, she was converted to carry Poseidon ballistic missiles, and her nuclear reactor was modified to use an S3G core 3. She conducted additional deterrent deployments from Rota into 1978, bringing the total number of patrols she had conducted to 35.

From the latter half of 1978 until November 1991 Will Rogers was forward deployed at Site One in Holy Loch, Scotland. On 9 November 1991, Will Rogers departed Site One, the last submarine to leave Holy Loch before Submarine Squadron 14, which had been based there, was deactivated.[1]
