Name & Hull Number Commissioned Decommissioned USS Triton (SSN-586) (ex- SSRN-586)* November 10, 1959 May 3, 1969 * The history of the Triton is rather unique. The original design was primarily Rickover's concept of having a submarine with twice the horsepower of the earlier reactors. Hence the development of the multiple reactor propulsion system. The Triton was the first submarine that could go faster than most surface ships. The question was raised as to how to employ this submarine because of its high surface speed, and the fact that Triton was too large and lacked the maneuverability to be an effective submarine. Thus the mission of the submarine was designated as a radar picket submarine (the "R" stands for the radar picket). This concept was developed in 1945 when suicide planes from Japan smashed into the destroyers that were used as pickets to warn the carriers of the impending danger. Except now those pickets could submerge as the Triton. Halibut General Characteristics,USS Halibut Builder: Mare Island Naval Shipyard Power Plant: One nuclear reactor, two geared steam turbines, two shafts Length: 350 feet Beam: 29 feet Displacement: Approx. 3602 tons Crew: 9 Officers, 108 Enlisted Armament: Four torpedo tubes forward. Name & Hull Number Commissioned Decommissioned USS Halibut (SSN-587) (ex- SSGN-587)* January 4, 1960 June 30, 1976 * The " G " stands for guided missle which utilized the Regulus missle system. This missle system later proved to be unsatisfactory due to improvements in ballistic missile technology.
