Her keel was laid down on 15 August 1961 by General Dynamics Electric Boat of Groton, Connecticut. Because she was still early in the construction process, Greenling was one of three selected Thresher-class submarines selected for conversion to the improved Thresher class. The other two were SSN-613 Flasher and SSN-615 Gato. She was launched on 4 April 1964 sponsored by Mrs. On 29 April, she was towed to Quincy, Massachusetts, for lengthening and submarine safety program (SUBSAFE) modifications. Modifications included increased buoyancy and adding 13 feet 9 inches of length to the hull, providing improved living and working conditions for the crew and space for additional equipment.

Equipment from Greenling’s control room was salvaged and used to construct a simulation of a submarine control room as an exhibit at the Naval Undersea Museum in Keyport, Washington.
