Iowa (SSN-797), a Virginia-class submarine, is the fourth U.S. Navy vessel named for the state of Iowa. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus officially announced the name on September 2, 2015, during a news briefing at Iowa State University.[6]

Construction and career

Iowa's keel was laid down on 20 August 2019 at the Quonset Point Facility of General Dynamics Electric Boat in North Kingstown, Rhode Island.[2] She was christened on 17 June 2023 by Christie Vilsack, the boat's sponsor and former First lady of Iowa.[3][7]

On April 5, 2025, the USS Iowa (SSN-797) was commissioned at New London Subase in Groton, Connecticut, where the ship will be home ported.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][a]

Note
