This is sad...

USS Dallas (SSN-700) returns from final scheduled deployment

Onkel Neal · 11-26-13, 12:48 AM

Wow, how about that.

this day had to come sooner or later. She served us well.

museum ship, or placed into mothball? what do you think her fate will be?

Mothballed and will eventually be sent to the breakers. If any of them were to have become a museum it would have been the Los Angeles.

perhaps but the Dallas has quite a bit of cinematic history where subs are concerned

im sure you're right... she will be turned into a lot of scrap

Maybe, it will be sold off to the Iranians now that they are playing nicely. Or China as another floating casino just like the Russian aircraft carrier.

I hope i'm wrong but considering there have been ships more worthy of being saved and they were scrapped* I seriously doubt it.

* Two examples would be CV-6 and CV-65.

Oh man...I hope so. But with the way things are working right now, I very much doubt it.
