USS GURNARD (SSN-662)
The second Gurnard (SS(N)-662) a Sturgeon-Class nuclear submarine was laid down 22 December 1964 by the San Francisco Bay Naval Shipyard Vallejo, Calif.; launched 20 May 1967; sponsored by Mrs. George P. Miller, and commissioned on 6 December 1968 with Commander William S. Cole, Jr., in command.
Once commissioned
she will become a key element in the underwater deterrent force of the Navy and will contribute vitally to the continuing task of "keeping the peace" over the vast reaches of global waters. Designed to attack and destroy all types of enemy ships
her ability to operate for long periods at great depths and at high submerged speed will make her a potent and effective challenge to enemy submarines. Operating under nuclear power
she will be able to conduct long-range reconnaissance patrols and surveillance missions without risking detection by surface ships. Moreover
she will be able to carry out extensive ASW operations
either alone or with other fleet submarines or with destroyer-type surface ships.
