The “Terrible T” – as it was affectionately known – was a Sturgeon-class submarine, a class of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines (SSN) in service with the U.S. Navy from the 1960s until 2004. They were the “workhorses” of the Navy’s attack submarine fleet through much of the Cold War. The Sturgeon class was phased out and replaced by Los Angeles, Seawolf and Virginia class submarines.
