| She was commissioned September 30, 1964. A United States Nuclear Submarine capable of launching 16 nuclear missiles over 3000 miles. She protected America during the hottest periods of the Cold War . During her 30 years she was homeported in three different locations: (1) Charleston, SC (2) Rota, Spain (3) Holy Loch, Scotland |
| I made 8 patrols on the USS Von Steuben from September 1988 to February 1993. I was a member of the Blue Crew and held the rating of Fire Control Technician. We were responsible for maintaining and operating the missile launching computers (called "Fire Control" in the Navy), maintaining "Alert" missile targeting, and of course, responsible for the security of the weapons and the ship. |
