Norfolk, Va. (Feb. 1, 2005) - The fleet ballistic missile submarine USS
Georgia (SSBN 729) passes downtown Norfolk, Va., as it heads to Norfolk
Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, VA. Georgia is the fourth Ohio-class
submarine to undergo conversion from a ballistic missile submarine to a
guided missile submarine. Guided missile submarines will be able to
carry an impressive payload, including up to 154 Tomahawk cruise
missiles or 66 Special Operations Forces. Georgia joins USS Florida
(SSGN 728) at Norfolk Naval Shipyard for the conversion. U.S. Navy
