During a mid-[[1990s]] refit, ''Memphis'' received numerous modifications, which added about 50 tons to her displacement, most of it aft. |
|||
* a glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) turtleback abaft the sail to accommodate remotely operated vehicles |
|||
* a towing winch and drum for experimental towed sonar arrays |
|||
* 4.27 m-high by 1.37 m-wide vertical surfaces at the ends of the stern stabilizers to accommodate sonar transducer arrays |
|||
* a 54 mm towed array dispenser in the port fin leading to the new winch abaft the sail |
|||
* supports for the stern stabilizers |
|||
* new hydraulic systems |
|||
* a fiber-optic databus |
|||
* 58 standardized equipment racks to accommodate electronic test gear |
|||
In January [[1994]] ''Memphis'' entered [[Portsmouth Naval Shipyard]] for Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) and modifications to support her research and development role. Upon completion of the shipyard availability she was assigned to Submarine Development Squadron TWELVE in [[Groton, Connecticut]]. |
|||
''Memphis'' has tested a composite material propeller shaft of about half normal weight and, in [[1998]], the [[Lockheed Martin]] Undersea Systems Universal Gravity Module (UGM) passive bottom profiler navigational system. |
|||
On 3 May 2005, ''Memphis'' deployed conducting two polar transits, returning to New London on 3 November 2005. |
|||
''Memphis'' won the coveted [[Battenberg Cup]] in 2005. |
|||
On [[6 May]] [[2006]], ''Memphis'' deployed against [[Iraqi insurgency]], returning to [[New London, Connecticut]], on [[7 August]]. |
|||
On [[27 June]] [[2007]], ''Memphis'' returned to [[Portsmouth Naval Shipyard]] in [[Kittery, Maine]], for a Pre-Inactivation Restricted Availability. She returned to Groton on [[8 May]] [[2008]]. |
|||
==Involvement with the sinking of the Kursk== |
|||
{{see details|Russian submarine Kursk explosion}} |
|||
The USS ''Memphis'' was present at the Russian war games during which the Russian submarine, ''[[Russian submarine K-141 Kursk|Kursk]]'' sank, resulting in the loss of the submarine and 118 sailors and officers on board. It has been suggested by conspiracy theorists that the USS ''Memphis'' may have been responsible for the sinking. |
|||
==In fiction== |
|||
* ''Memphis'' was featured in the book ''Dangerous Ground'' by [[Larry Bond]]. |
|||
* In [[Jan Guillou]]'s book ''Madame Terror'' it was a torpedo from USS ''Memphis'' that sank the Russian submarine ''[[Russian submarine K-141 Kursk|Kursk]]''. |
