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 (SSN-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. Text courtesy of Bruce McCausland. | |
