- USS James Madison (SSBN-627)
USS "James Madison" (SSBN-627), the lead ship of her class of ballistic missile submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for James Madison (1751–1836), the fourth President of the United States.
The contract to build her was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia on 20 July 1961 and her keel was laid down on 5 March 1962. She was launched on 15 March 1963 sponsored by Mrs. A.S. Mike Monroney, and commissioned on 28 July 1964, with Commander Joseph L. Skoog, Jr. in command of the Blue Crew and Commander James D. Kearny in command of the Gold Crew.
After post-shakedown repairs and modification in November and December 1964, "James Madison" sailed for her first patrol 17 January 1965.
"James Madison" was decommissioned on 20 November 1992 and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 20 November 1992. Ex-"James Madison" entered the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program in Bremerton, Washington, and on 24 October 1997 ceased to exist.
