The ceremony of laying the keel of the USS Wisconsin
On August 27, 2025, General Dynamics Electric Boat held a keel laying ceremony for the submarine USS Wisconsin (SSBN 827) at its shipyard in Quonset Point, Rhode Island. The date symbolically coincided with the number of the future ship, which emphasized the importance of the event.
The USS Wisconsin will become the second submarine in a series of new generation strategic ballistic missile submarines of the Columbia class. This class is being developed to replace the aging Ohio-class submarines and provides modern strategic deterrence capabilities.
The construction of the USS Wisconsin will strengthen the nuclear capability of the U.S. Navy, ensuring long-term combat readiness and deterrence capability in global security. This project is a key part of the fleet modernization program and supports U.S. technological leadership at sea.
