USS Alexandria (SSN 757)



USS ALEXANDRIA is the seventh of the 23 improved LOS ANGELES - class nuclear-powered attack submarines and the third ship in the Navy named after the cities in Louisiana and Virginia. During her 2004 deployment, the ALEXANDRIA became the first improved LOS ANGELES - class submarine to circumnavigate the globe in the way she did: Departing Groton, CT., on June 11, 2004, she transited under the Arctic ice to the Pacific, entered the US Central Command's area and returned home via the Suez Canal, Mediterranean, and Atlantic Ocean. During this deployment, the ALEXANDRIA also became the first US nuclear-powered submarine to visit Goa, India.

After a scheduled two-year engineered overhaul at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, Kittery, Maine, the ALEXANDRIA shifted her homeport from Groton, Ct., to San Diego, Calif., in November 2015.
