Die USS Ohio (SSBN-/SSGN-726) ist ein U-Boot der United States Navy und das Typschiff der Ohio-Klasse.
Geschichte
Bauwerft für die Ohio war Electric Boat, das Boot wurde am 11. November 1981 offiziell in Dienst gestellt. Im Oktober 1982 begann die Ohio die erste Abschreckungs-Patrouille, bis 1998 folgten 49 weitere, womit das Typschiff der Ohio-Klasse als erstes seiner Klasse 50 Einsatzfahrten absolvierte.
Zu Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts sollte die Ohio eigentlich außer Dienst gestellt werden. Stattdessen wurde sie ab Ende 2002 in der Puget Sound Naval Shipyard zu einem SSGN umgerüstet. Als spezielle Plattform für den Abschuss von Marschflugkörpern wurde die Ohio 2006 wieder der Flotte zugeordnet. Im Oktober 2007 begann die erste Einsatzfahrt des Bootes in seiner neuen Rolle.

Naval jack of the United States from September 11, 2002 to June 4, 2019; designed in the late 19th century. The flag consists of a rattlesnake superimposed across 13 alternating red and white stripes with the motto, "Don't Tread On Me" (without apostrophe).
First Navy Jack of the United States as (supposedly) used by the Continental Navy from October 13, 1775 through December 31, 1776. In 1980, the Secretary of the Navy directed the commissioned ship in active status having the longest total period in active status to display the rattlesnake jack in place of the union jack until decommissioned or transferred to inactive status. Since September 11, 2002, the flag has been flown by the United States Navy for the duration of the "Global War on Terrorism."

USS Ohio SSGN Conversion. "040315-N-0000H-001 Bremerton, Wash. (March 15, 2004) - Night falls at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, Bremerton, Wash., as work continues on the strategic missile submarine USS Ohio (SSGN-726). The USS Ohio is one of four Trident Submarines undergoing conversion to a new class of guided missile submarines. The SSGN conversion program takes Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines through an extensive overhaul that will improve their capability to support and launch up to 154 Tomahawk missiles. They will also provide the capability to carry other payloads, such as unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and Special Forces equipment. This new platform will also have the capability to carry and support more than 66 Navy SEALs (SEa, Air and Land) and insert them clandestinely into potential conflict areas.
