USS South Dakota (SSN-790) represents a milestone in the evolution of American undersea warfare. South Dakota was a Block IV Virginia-class submarine. Block IV boats introduced significant design-for-affordability improvements and a redesigned reactor core that does not require mid-life refueling, reducing lifecycle costs and increasing operational availability.
Our South Dakota gear is crafted for the submarine community — the sailors who qualified on her, the families who waited through months-long deployments, and anyone who understands what it means to serve beneath the surface.
