The USS Pasadena is a Los Angeles-class submarine that has been in service since 1989. It is the third ship and the first submarine to bear the name of Pasadena, California. The USS Pasadena is currently in the third month of a six-month deployment mission in the western Pacific Ocean. This mission is part of the United States Navy's commitment to providing a safe and secure environment for its citizens. In July 1991, the USS Pasadena became the first improved 688-class submarine to be deployed, initiating a six-month deployment in the Western Pacific.
During this deployment, it participated in several exercises with the Royal Navies of Saudi Arabia, Oman and Australia. It was also the first United States nuclear-powered attack submarine (SSN) to carry out exercises with the Indian Navy in the MALABAR Naval Exercise. In June 1993, it began another six-month deployment in the Western Pacific in the Persian Gulf. The USS Pasadena also made history by becoming the first nuclear-powered submarine to visit the Red Sea port of Jeddah (Saudi Arabia). It has unlimited endurance due to its nuclear propulsion plant, advanced sonar, torpedo, cruise missile and mine-launching systems, and its ability to fulfill numerous missions due to its versatility with its highly trained and dedicated crew.
