USS Connecticut Pulls Into San Diego After Surface Transit From Guam

Attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN-22) pulled into San Diego, Calif., Sunday morning after transiting the Pacific Ocean on the surface due to damage from a collision in the South China Sea. Ship spotter WarshipCam first posted a photo of the Seawolf-class attack submarine pulling into the San Diego harbor early Sunday. [...] The boat’s sonar dome became inoperable as a result of the collision, making it unsafe to travel underwater.

Connecticut struck an unmapped seamount in early October in the South China Sea, a collision that damaged the ballast tanks and the forward section of the boat, USNI News previously reported. After hitting the seamount, the boat sailed on the surface to Guam, arriving on Oct. 8 for initial repairs and a damage assessment. The submarine left Guam at some point last month.
