Color photo of submarine on commissioning day printed on add-on cachet #2426 by Alvin Eckert, USCS #9964 on an envelope serviced by Capt. Robert Rawlins, USN.

The USS Ohio is expected to be replaced in 2029. She is based at Bangor, Washington for Pacific Fleet duty, into 2022. See the web pages for her service history and details about her armed missiles.
