Oregon's keel was laid down on 8 July 2017, in a ceremony held at the Quonset Point Facility of General Dynamics Electric Boat in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, with sponsor Mrs. Dana L.

A contract modification for Oregon SSN-793, Montana SSN-794, and Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-795) was initially awarded to General Dynamics Electric Boat for $594.7 million in April 2012. On 23 December 2014 they were awarded an additional $121.8 million contract modification to buy long lead-time material for the three Virginia-class submarines.[7] The U.S. Navy awarded General Dynamics Electric Boat the contract to construct 10 Block IV Virginia-class submarines for $17.6 billion on 28 April 2014. Vermont commenced in May 2014 with the tenth ship scheduled for delivery in 2023.[5] Cmdr. Lacy Lodmell, from Malta Montana, took over as commanding officer 20 November 2020[8].
