USS PINTADO (SSN-672)
The second Pintado was laid down 27 October 1967 by the San Francisco Naval
Shipyard, Vallejo, Calif.; launched 16 August 1969; and is scheduled to
commission in 1971.
As one of the most advanced submarines in
the fleet, she is designed to seek out and destroy other submarines. She will
be a worthy successor to those submarines who fought so valiantly in the
Pacific during World War II.
