Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS La Jolla (SSN-701)

SSN-701 is being converted to become a Moored Training Ship (MTS), according to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA).

La Jolla will be heading to the Nuclear Power Training Unit in Charleston, S.C., where new submarine and aircraft carrier nuclear operators are trained and qualified.

During that time, the submarine will be cut into three pieces, and a portion of the hull and the missile compartments will be taken out.

Three new hull sections from General Dynamics Electric Boat will be added to accommodate the sub’s new mission.
