USS MARIANO G. VALLEJO (SSBN-658)
The fleet ballistic missile nuclear submarine Mariano
G. Vallejo was laid down 7 July 1964 at the Mare Island Division, San
Francisco Naval Shipyard, Vallejo, Calif.; launched 23 October 1965; sponsored
by Miss Patricia O. V. McGettigan, great‑great‑granddaughter of
General Vallejo; and commissioned 16 December 1966, Comdr. Douglas B. Guthe
(blue crew) and Comdr. John K. Nunneley (gold crew) in command.
Mariana G. Vallejo, with
two complete, equally trained crews, rotated at regular intervals to maximize
patrol on station time, conducted shakedown and training exercises along the
west coast, in the Caribbean, and off the coast of Florida. Transiting the
Panama Canal for the second time on 21 March 1967, she headed for her assigned
home port, Pearl Harbor. Arriving 10 April, she continued training exercises
and sound trials, then returned briefly to Mare Island. Thence she sailed back
to Pearl Harbor, becoming, as of 1 August, an on‑the‑line unit of
Submarine Squadron 15. Since that time, into 1969, she has conducted deterrent
patrols as a unit of the Pacific Fleet.
