USS Tautog (SSN-639)

USS Tautog (SSN-639) represents a milestone in the evolution of American undersea warfare. The nuclear Tautog carried the name of the WWII submarine (SS-199) that holds the record for the most confirmed enemy ships sunk — 26. The nuclear Tautog served as a Sturgeon-class attack submarine and was involved in a collision with a Soviet Echo-class submarine in 1970, an incident that remained classified for decades.

Our Tautog collection speaks to anyone connected to the submarine force. Whether you qualified on her, served alongside her, or supported someone who did, this gear carries the heritage of nuclear submarine service.
