USS Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-795)
"Semper Fortis"
The record of USS Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-795) reflects what nuclear submarines have meant to national security. Hyman G. Rickover was a Block IV Virginia-class submarine named for the four-star admiral who created the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. Admiral Rickover's personal engineering standards and uncompromising insistence on reactor safety built the nuclear submarine force from the ground up.
Our USS Hyman G. Rickover collection is designed for the sailors who served aboard her and the families who supported them through deployments they often couldn't discuss. Every item carries the authentic heritage of a nuclear submarine and the crew who took her to sea.
