Navy’s next-generation Columbia-class submarine. (NASDAQ: DRS) announced today that it has been awarded contracts valued at over $1 billion, when fully funded, to provide the integrated electric propulsion components for the U.S. Its ability to project power and provide forward presence makes Ohio - and its fellow SSGNs - a key component of our nation's maritime strategy.Leonardo DRS, Inc. Today, with 30 years of service in the books, Ohio is as relevant to the nation's defense as ever. In three decades of service, Ohio has captured the Battle Efficiency Award (Battle "E") multiple times, the most recent coming in 2012. A year later, she proceeded to Guam to begin the first SSGN forward deployment. Ohio completed its conversion and rejoined the fleet on Feb. The other two launch tubes were converted to lockout chambers, allowing for the embarkation and deployment of special operations forces such as Navy SEALs. Under then plan, 22 Trident launch tubes were reconfigured to carry either canisters containing seven Tomahawks each - for a total of up to 154 missiles - or special operations weapons or equipment. The result would be four platforms capable of supporting strike or special warfare missions around the world. But another plan was in the works - to use the versatile Ohio seaframe to carry Tomahawks or other payloads in lieu of ballistic missiles. The other 14 would remain in service as SSBNs carrying the Trident II D-5 missile. With the end of the Cold War, the first four Ohio-class SSBNs - Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Georgia - were scheduled to be decommissioned in the early 2000s. In October 1982, Ohio began her first strategic deterrent patrol she would continue to patrol out of Bangor for the next 20 years. 12, 1982, when she arrived at Naval Submarine Base Bangor as the first operational unit permanently assigned to Commander, Submarine Group 9.
