USS Sea Devil (SSN-664)

USS Sea Devil (SSN-664)

USS "Sea Devil" (SSN-664), a "Sturgeon"-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the sea devil (or devil ray) ("Manta birostria"), the largest of all rays, noted for power and endurance. The contract to build her was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia on 28 May 1964 and her keel was laid down on 12 April 1966. She was launched on 5 October 1967 sponsored by Mrs. Ignatius J. Galantin, and commissioned on 30 January 1969, with Commander Richard A. Currier in command.

On 13 April 1989 "Sea Devil" collided with "Miller" (FF-1091).

"Sea Devil" was decommissioned and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 16 October 1991. Ex-"Sea Devil" entered the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program in Bremerton, Washington, on 1 March 1998 and on 7 September 1999 ceased to exist.
