The USS Omaha (SSN-692) was a Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarine built for the United States Navy. Constructed by the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics in Groton, Connecticut, her keel was laid on 27 January 1973, and she was launched on 21 February 1976, sponsored by Mrs. Victoria Kuncl Hruska. Omaha was officially commissioned on 11 March 1978, initially assigned to Groton before being relocated to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, in May of that year, where she joined Submarine Squadron Seven. Design-wise, Omaha was a Los Angeles-class submarine, renowned for its nuclear propulsion system, which allowed extended submerged operations. She participated in numerous operational deployments across the Pacific and Indian Oceans, engaging in a variety of missions including special operations, acoustic trials, and anti-submarine warfare exercises. Her operational history includes multiple WestPac deployments, during which she visited ports such as Subic Bay, Hong Kong, Guam, and Perth, Australia. Omaha was also tasked with surveillance, reconnaissance, and support for fleet exercises like RimPac. Throughout her service, Omaha underwent significant overhauls and upgrades, including the installation of a retractable towed array sonar system during a dry dock period at Pearl Harbor. She certified in missile systems such as the Tomahawk, reflecting her multifaceted attack capabilities. Her notable achievements include earning the Navy Expeditionary Medal, Meritorious Unit Commendations, and participating in joint multinational exercises. Omaha's service concluded with her decommissioning at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard on 5 October 1995, after nearly two decades of active duty. She was then placed in reserve and ultimately disposed of through the Nuclear Ship and Submarine Recycling Program, completed in November 2012. Her sail and rudder have been preserved for display in a memorial park in Omaha, Nebraska, honoring her namesake city and her service legacy.
