LOUISVILLE, KY – Crew members from USS Kentucky (SSBN 737) and USS Louisville (SSN 724) will be conducting separate namesake visits to the Louisville-area during mid-April. In what officials describe as a rare occurrence, the sailors from both submarines will make several joint appearances at Thunder Over Louisville on Saturday, April 16.

“I’ve been coordinating namesake visits for both boats since 1995,” said Philip Setters from the Thoroughbred Sub Club. “This is the first time I have been aware of two boats conducting simultaneous visits in our area, and I haven’t found anyone that can recall it happening anywhere else, either. I am glad it is happening at Thunder Over Louisville, which has previously included participation from both submarines.” Continued…

PEARL HARBOR (NNS) — The Los Angeles-class submarine USS Louisville (SSN 724) returned to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Oct. 29 after completing a scheduled deployment to the Western Pacific region.

Lee Sisco, USS Louisville’s commanding officer. Continued…
