 | 129k | Taken 8 December 1979 during the launch of the Phoneix (SSN-702). Ohio (SSBN-726) is in the water, the Michigan (SSBN-727) is on her starboard side out of the water, and the Florida (SSBN-728) is partially visible in the(starboard/aft) in the large assembly building. The Boston (SSN-703) is barely visible just inside the open bay doors in the small assembly building closest to the starboard side of the Florida (SSBN-728) and the Phoneix is being launched. I believe that the City of Corpus Christi (SSN-705) is barely visible behind the closed bay doors to the port of the Phoneix. | US Navy photo courtesy of globalsecurity.org.

In the background you can see the cranes for graving dock #1 & #2 and the big green building is the south yard building ways where the Nautilus (SSN-571) was launched. Also note the other Trident tied up at the North wing wall is probably Michigan (SSBN-727).
