USS San Francisco Leaves Dry Dock in Record Time
November 1, 2011
SAN DIEGO (Nov. 1, 2011) - Sailors from USS San Francisco (SSN 711) and dry dock Arco (ARDM 5) make preparations for the undocking of the Los Angeles-class, fast-attack submarine from the floating dry dock. San Francisco has been in dry dock for four months for scheduled maintenance and repairs. Lt. Cdmr. Mack Schmidt, Arco's Commanding Officer, said, "This type of availability normally takes a little over nine months. However, team San Francisco, Arco, and Portsmouth Naval Shipyard got the submarine in and out of dry dock in four months - a record."

USS Hampton Surfaces on "Top of the World"
April 20, 2004
North Polar Region (Apr. 19, 2004) - The crew of the Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Hampton (SSN 767) posted a sign reading "North Pole" made by the crew after surfacing in the polar ice cap region. Hampton and the Royal Navy Trafalgar class attack submarine HMS Tireless took part in ICEX 04, a joint operational exercise beneath the polar ice cap. Both the Tireless and Hampton crews met on the ice, including scientists traveling aboard both submarines to collect data and perform experiments. The Ice Exercise demonstrates the U.S. and British Submarine Force's ability to freely navigate in all international waters, including the Arctic. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Journalist Kevin Elliott.
