USS BATON ROUGE SSN 661

USS Baton Rouge (SSN-689) was a Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarine commissioned by the United States Navy on June 25, 1977. Throughout its active service, Baton Rouge conducted numerous Cold War patrols and intelligence-gathering missions, playing a vital role in anti-submarine warfare and surveillance operations in the Atlantic. On February 11, 1992, the submarine was notably involved in a minor underwater collision with the Russian submarine K-276 Kostroma in the Barents Sea, an incident that intensified post-Cold War naval tensions. USS Baton Rouge was decommissioned on January 13, 1995, after nearly two decades of service.
