Souda Bay, Crete, Greece (Sept. 21, 2006) - The Los Angeles-class fast
attack submarine USS Dallas (SSN 700) heads to sea following a brief
port visit. Dallas is homeported in Groton, Conn., and is currently on
a scheduled deployment. Commissioned in 1981, Dallas is the first Los
Angeles-class submarine to have a dry deck shelter (DDS). DDSs provide
specially configured nuclear-powered submarines with a greater
capability of deploying special operations forces (SOF). U.S. Navy
