التاريخ
1999 was spent conducting shakedown operations that evaluated Connecticut's weapons systems, sensors, stealth and engineering proficiency. She participated in Joint Task Force Exercise 2-99 as an opposing force asset, and completed acoustic trials, a shallow water exercise, and an anti-submarine warfare exercise.
In September 1999 Connecticut began a Post-Shakedown Availability (PSA) at the Electric Boat shipyard. Despite 100 percent growth in the amount of PSA work, making this the submarine force's most demanding PSA, Connecticut completed all work ahead of schedule. Additionally, this PSA concluded as the safest in the 100-year history of Electric Boat.
In April 2003, Connecticut surfaced through the Arctic ice at the University of Washington's Applied Physics Laboratory Ice Station (APLIS). While there, she came under attack by a polar bear, which gnawed on her rudder for a while before disengaging.[3]
On 31 March 2004 Connecticut put to sea in support of the War on Terrorism as part of the Wasp Expeditionary 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 Connecticut would be transferred to Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton, in Washington's Puget Sound, following a six-month deployment commencing on 25 July 2007.[4] 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 percent of the fleet's submarines to the Pacific.[5][6] Upon arrival at Kitsap on 30 January 2008, Connecticut joined her Seawolf sisters in Submarine Development Squadron Five.[3][7]
In early 2011, Connecticut participated in ICEX 2011 in order to "train today’s submarines in the challenging Arctic environment", as well as "refine and validate procedures and required equipment."[8]
The Connecticut received extensive overhauls from 2012 to 2017. She returned to operation in early 2018 and participated in the Arctic ICEX 2018 operational readiness exercise.[9] She later that year deployed to the western Pacific before returning on 30 January 2019.[10]
From 26 March through 19 August 2019, Connecticut underwent maintenance and modernizing in a drydock at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.[11] The US$17 million project involved 30,000 worker days and included use of a hull-climbing robot to inspect the ship's hull.[11][12]
The Navy plans to extend a submarine pier to moor Connecticut and يوإسإس Seawolf together with يوإسإس Jimmy Carter at Naval Submarine Base Bangor.[13]
حادث الارتطام 2021
On 2 October 2021, Connecticut was damaged after she collided with a unidentified object while maneuvering in the South China Sea.[14] About eleven sailors were injured, though none were reported to be life threatening, and the submarine's propulsion system and nuclear reactor were said to be operating normally.[15]
On 2 October 2021, Connecticut was damaged after she collided with a seamount[16] while maneuvering in the South China Sea.[17] About eleven sailors were injured, though none were reported to be life threatening, and the submarine's propulsion system and nuclear reactor were said to be operating normally.[18] After an investigation, the commanding officer, his executive officer, and the chief of the boat were all relieved of duty.[19]
