'''USS ''Sea Devil'' (SSN-664)''', a [[Sturgeon class submarine|''Sturgeon''-class]] [[attack submarine]], was the second ship of the [[United States Navy]] to be named for the sea devil (''Manta birostria''), also known as the [[manta ray]] or devil ray, the largest of all living [[batoidea|rays]], noted for power and endurance.

'''USS ''Sea Devil'' (SSN-664)''', a [[Sturgeon class submarine|''Sturgeon''-class submarine]], was the second ship of the [[United States Navy]] to be named for the [[manta ray|sea devil (or devil ray)]] (''Manta birostria''), the largest of all [[batoidea|rays]], noted for power and endurance. The contract to build her was awarded to [[Northrop Grumman Newport News|Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company]] in [[Newport News, Virginia]] on [[28 May]] [[1964]] and her keel was laid down on [[12 April]] [[1966]]. She was [[ship naming and launching|launched]] on [[5 October]] [[1967]] sponsored by Mrs. [[Ignatius J. Galantin]], and [[ship commissioning|commissioned]] on [[30 January]] [[1969]], with Commander Richard A. Currier in command.



On [[13 April]] [[1989]] ''Sea Devil'' collided with [[USS Miller (FF-1091)|''Miller'' (FF-1091)]].

==Construction and commissioning==

[[Image:USS Sea Devil (SSN-664).jpg|300px|left|thumb|''Sea Devil'' off the [[Virginia Capes]] on 1 February 1991.]]The contract to build ''Sea Devil'' was awarded to [[Northrop Grumman Newport News|Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company]] in [[Newport News, Virginia|Newport News]], [[Virginia]]. on 28 May 1964, and her [[keel]] was laid down there on 12 April 1966. The construction was fairly uneventful, except a short delay. She was [[Ship naming and launching|launched]] on 5 October 1967, sponsored by Mrs. Ignatius J. Galantin, the wife of [[Admiral]] [[Ignatius J. Galantin|Ignatius J. "Pete" Galantin]] (1910-2004), and [[Ship commissioning|commissioned]] on 30 January 1969. She went under sea trials on 26 January after several finishing touches.



''Sea Devil'' was decommissioned and stricken from the [[Naval Vessel Register]] on [[16 October]] [[1991]]. Ex-''Sea Devil'' entered the Nuclear Powered [[Ship and Submarine Recycling Program]] in [[Bremerton, Washington]], on [[1 March]] [[1998]] and on [[7 September]] [[1999]] ceased to exist.

==Service history==

''Sea Devil'' was assigned to [[Submarine Division 62]] at [[Norfolk, Virginia|Norfolk]], Virginia. She operated out of Norfolk into at least 1977. She was assigned to Submarine Squadron 4 in Charleston SC from the mid-1980s until her decommissioning in 1991. She was a 637 class fast attack hunter killer. She also surfaced multiple times through the ice in the arctic. She usually patrolled the far north Atlantic, monitoring Russian vessels and ports. It went on several submarine stalking missions, watching Russian submarines carefully. It eventually became outdated and was taken out of service for repairs in 1981.



See [[USS Sea Devil|USS ''Sea Devil'']] for other ships of the same name.

==Decommissioning and disposal==

''Sea Devil'' was [[Ship decommissioning|decommissioned]] on 16 October 1991 and stricken from the [[Naval Vessel Register]] the same day. Her scrapping via the Nuclear-Powered [[Ship and Submarine Recycling Program]] at [[Puget Sound Naval Shipyard]] in [[Bremerton, Washington|Bremerton]], [[Washington (state)|Washington]], began on 1 March 1998 and was completed on 7 September 1999. The nuclear fuel was stored there until 2001 and then was transferred to [[Naval Reactors Facility|The Naval Reactors Facility]] in Idaho.
