The USS Tinosa (SSN-606) was a nuclear-powered submarine of the Permit-class submarine of the United States Navy .
history
At the end of 1958, the contract to build the Tinosa was awarded to the Portsmouth Navy Yard , where the keel of the boat was laid just under a year later. After a construction period of just over two years, the boat was launched and commissioned in November 1964. The long waiting time can be explained by the sinking of the USS Thresher (SSN-593) in April 1963. In addition, damage had to be repaired after the Tinosa collided with the USS John Adams (SSBN-620) in June 1963 in port under rope .
The first long voyage of the Tinosa began after the first test drives and led the boat to Faslane , Scotland and then to the Caribbean from June 1966 . 1967 spent the nuclear submarine with test drives in the Caribbean. 1969 was Tinosa during their time spent shipyard subsafe , a program that the Navy after the safety of the submarines Thresher disaster should ensure.
After a few test drives, the Tinosa visited several ports in Europe in 1971, including the Mediterranean . In 1973 local operations and an anti-submarine exercise with the Canadian Navy followed . After a short docking phase in 1974, the Tinosa moved again to the Mediterranean. In 1975 a major overhaul at Ingalls Shipbuilding followed, followed by test drives and practice drives.
On July 15, 1991 the Tinosa was deactivated and then officially decommissioned in early 1992. By mid-1992, the submarine was demolished in the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in the local Ship-Submarine Recycling Program .
