Unit history

USS Montepelier was the first submarine to launch Tomahawk cruise missiles in Operation Iraqi Freedom. She would go on to fire all 20 missiles earning her a "clean sweep" under the command of CDR William J. Frake.

On 13 October 2012, USS Montpelier collided with USS San Jacinto (CG-56) off the east coast of the United States near Florida. Both ships were conducting a training exercise at the time of the incident. No one on board either ship was injured.[3] The sub's captain, Commander Thomas Winter, was relieved and the sub has since undergone $70 million in repairs.
