USS Sand Lance (SSN-660)

USS Sand Lance (SSN-660) holds a distinguished place in American submarine history. Sand Lance made history on October 28, 1971 when she became the first submarine to launch a torpedo while submerged under Arctic ice, striking a target through a polynya. This demonstrated that attack submarines could conduct combat operations in the polar environment.

For the crews who served aboard USS Sand Lance and the families who kept the home fires burning through long and silent deployments, this collection carries real meaning. Built by veterans for the submarine community.
