February 3rd - On This Date - USN Submarine Service

1942 - 

USS TROUT (SS-202) rendezvoused with a torpedo boat off Corregidor and was escorted to South Dock. She unloaded 3,500 rounds of ammunition; refueled; loaded two torpedoes, and requested additional ballast. Since neither sandbags nor sacks of concrete were available, she was given 20 tons of gold bars and silver pesos to be evacuated from the Philippines. She also loaded securities, mail, and State Department dispatches before submerging shortly before daybreak to wait at the bottom of Manila Bay until the return of darkness. That evening, TROUT loaded more mail and securities before she was escorted through the mine fields out to open water.

2005 - the Seawolf-class nuclear-powered attack submarine PCU JIMMY CARTER

(SSN-23) was underway during sea trials off Groton, CT. Built by General Dynamics Electric Boat in Groton, CT, the Seawolf-class is the fastest, quietest, most heavily armed submarine in the world. JIMMY CARTER is the third and final submarine of that class. A unique feature of JIMMY CARTER is a 100-foot hull extension called the Multi-Mission Platform, which provides enhanced payload capabilities, enabling the submarine to accommodate the advanced technology required to develop and test a new generation of weapons, sensors and undersea vehicles. JIMMY CARTER was delivered to the U.S. Navy on December 22, 2004 and was due to be commissioned on February 19, 2005.
