USS Louisiana SSBN-743 Submarine Model. Sail again with the crew of the USS Louisiana SSBN-743 in this handcrafted wooden submarine model. Each piece is carved from wood and handpainted to provide a piece you’ll love. Atlantic Fleet operations Louisiana’s first home port was Kings Bay. Her commissioning gave Kings Bay its planned full complement of 10 ballistic missile submarines. Transfer to Pacific Fleet In the 1990s, with the end of the Cold War in 1991 and the subsequent reorganization of U. Military forces, a U. Nuclear policy review recommended that the U. Navy reduce its inventory of Ohio-class fleet ballistic missile submarines from 18 to 14 by 2005. An original plan to meet this goal by retiring the four oldest Ohio-class submarines – Ohio, Michigan, Florida, and Georgia – was abandoned. Instead, those four were converted into cruise missile submarines (SSGNs). The conversions reduced the size of the Trident-equipped ballistic missile submarine fleet to 14 units. In order to balance the remaining Trident-equipped fleet between the United States Atlantic Fleet and United States Pacific Fleet, five ballistic-missile-equipped Ohio-class submarines relocated from the Atlantic Fleet Ohio-class submarine base at Kings Bay to the Pacific Fleet Ohio-class submarine base at Naval Base Kitsap at Bangor, Washington. Between 2002 and 2005, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Nebraska, Maine, and Louisiana relocated from Kings Bay to Naval Base Kitsap. Louisiana arrived at Naval Base Kitsap on 12 October 2005, which remains her home port. Pacific Fleet operations The Strategic Air Command Consultation Committee presented the Omaha Trophy to the Strategic Air Command (SAC) in 1971 on behalf of the citizens of Omaha, Nebraska, with the request that it be awarded annually to the outstanding SAC wing; the award later grew to include four different categories, including Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Command, Strategic Aircraft Operations Command, Strategic Space and Information Operations Command, and Submarine Ballistic Missile Command. On 31 May 2007, United States Strategic Command announced that Louisiana had won the 2006 Omaha Trophy in the Submarine Ballistic Missile Command category, which recognizes excellence in the fleet and is presented annually to the ballistic missile submarine unit demonstrating the highest standards of performance; in order for Louisiana to receive the award, both her Blue Crew and Gold Crew had to achieve excellence in every category possible from loading weapons to tactical scenarios related to strategic warfare to sailor retention and crew morale, with selection for the award based on formal evaluations, meritorious achievement, safety, and other factors such as community involvement and humanitarian actions. Chilton, commander of the U. Strategic Command, presented the trophy to Louisiana’s crew. Louisiana’s crest recalls the traditions of the people of the state of Louisiana and the three previous U. To others, the crest serves as a statement that the crews carry forward and those traditions of faithful and excellent service. The gold braid encircling the seal represents commitment of the two crews to the values of pride, patriotism, honor, and tradition. The 18 stars surrounding the crest identify Louisiana as the 18th state of the Union and Louisiana as the 18th Ohio-class submarine. The Louisiana state bird, the pelican, is shown protecting her young with outstretched wings; the pelican, as legend has it, is the only bird known to give its own flesh to feed its young when it is unable to find food, and this signifies the mission of Louisiana and her two crews to defend, at all costs, the freedoms and values that America represents. The red, white, and blue colors in the crest symbolize Louisiana’s duty to the nation. The crest also includes the gold, white, and blue of the state of Louisiana to recall the submarine’s name’s origins. Additionally, the dark blue and gold in the crest traditionally associated with the United States Navy represent excellence and the sea, and also symbolizes the two crews – Blue Crew and Gold Crew – of Louisiana. The bow-on perspective of the modern Ohio-class submarine is meant to be striking, bold, and steadfast in its appearance, serving as a warning of Louisiana’s resolute commitment to defending freedom. The four stars on the submarine’s bow indicate that Louisiana the fourth U. The tridents symbolize naval weaponry, both past and present, and sea prowess. An iris with three petals was once the armorial emblem of French sovereigns, and it is often used as a symbol of the state of Louisiana; here it represents France’s strong influence on the State of Louisiana. The banner with the inscription “Union, Justice, and Confidence” proclaims the Louisiana state motto. The crawfish further symbolizes the cultural heritage of the people of the state of Louisiana.

From the estate of Navy Photographer Robert’Bob’ Carlisle. This is a lot of 65 pictures of life on board and operations of USS Daniel Boone SSBN 629 in the 70s. Not just photos, a few memos are included and this is working archive from a Navy Photographer. Someonfthe photos are stamped’objected’ and some of those have notes stating why. There are varying captions on the back of these photos. There are a few doubles (not many)… If there is a double, one is marked objected and the other is not stamped. This is a very unique and cool lot! Not all photos are pictured. Most are roughly 8×10. A few the ones to the left on the main image, that are pictures of the sub are smaller, long and rectangular.
