USS Wyoming (SSBN-742)

USS Wyoming (SSBN-742)

USS "Wyoming" (SSBN-742), a "Ohio"-class ballistic missile submarine, was the fourth ship of the United States Navy to be named "Wyoming", although it was only the third named for the state.

The contract to build her was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on 18 October 1989 and her keel was laid down on 8 August 1991. She was launched on 15 July 1995 sponsored by Mrs. Monika B. Owens, and commissioned on 13 July 1996, with Captain Randall D. Preston in command of the Blue Crew and Commander Seth F. Paradise in command of the Gold Crew.

On 26 July, "Wyoming" arrived at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base, becoming the ninth submarine to be homeported there.
