USS PERMIT SSN-594

USS PERMIT (SSN-594) was the lead ship of her class of nuclear-powered attack submarines in the United States Navy. Commissioned on May 29, 1962, she played a crucial role during the Cold War, conducting surveillance, anti-submarine warfare, and intelligence-gathering missions in the Pacific Ocean. Permit was notable for being part of the first class of submarines designed from the outset for nuclear propulsion, significantly enhancing the Navy's underwater capabilities. After nearly three decades of service, USS PERMIT was decommissioned on July 23, 1991.
