United States Navy USS Alexandria Retired

USS Alexandria held her inactivation ceremony at Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego on 29 June 2026, exactly 35 years after being commissioned on the same date in 1991. The boat is the 46th Los Angeles-class attack submarine to leave service as the class is progressively replaced by Virginia-class boats. Over her career she completed 14 overseas deployments across the Mediterranean, the Arctic, the Persian Gulf and the Indo-Pacific, logging more than one million nautical miles, including an around-the-world deployment through the Arctic in 2004. She is scheduled to be formally decommissioned on 4 August 2026 before transiting to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard for defuelling and nuclear recycling.
