Footage of USS Kentucky (SSBN-737), a United States Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine which has been in commission since 1991, departing Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor March 13, for the boat’s first strategic deterrent mission since 2011. She is the third U.S. Navy ship to be named for Kentucky, the 15th state.
The ship and crews had currently successfully complete three major certifications:
The first was the command and control exercise, which demonstrated the crew’s ability to execute the mission and accomplish all required tasking.
The second major certification was the Demonstration and Shakedown Operations (DASO), which determined whether or not the crew could effectively operate and maintain the weapon’s systems. During this certification, Kentucky launched two D5 Trident Missiles off the coast of San Diego, California.
Finally, there was the nuclear weapons acceptance inspection, which certifies that the crew can safely, securely, and effectively maintain the strategic weapon system.
United States Navy Ohio-class submarines carry 24 Trident thermonuclear ballistic missiles per boat. There are currently 14 Trident Submarines in USN service, making up about 50% of the American active nuclear inventory.
