Welcome to the Navy League’s official website for USS Hawaii.
The first commissioned submarine named for the State of Hawai‘i, USS Hawaii (SSN 776) is among the U.S. Navy’s newest and finest warships. USS Hawaii has a cutting-edge deck design, plus the most advanced armament and sonar capabilities, making her one of the world’s most technically sophisticated submarines. At the same time, USS Hawaii, like other ships of her class, has been designed for unparalleled cost-efficiency and longevity.
When USS Hawaii is commissioned on May 5, 2007, she will be a cornerstone of U.S. coastal and national defense for the 21st century, helping to ensure peace in the world’s waters.

“It’s a great honor for our state to have this submarine named the Hawai`i. To all the members of the crew, I wish you all the best. You bring honor to our entire state. And I want to thank you for the privilege of being the sponsor, but I will hold that position as a representative of all the people in the state of Hawai`i.”
—Gov. Linda Lingle
“Since World War II, Hawai‘i…has had a significant portion of its men and women wear the uniform of the United States. The naming of USS Hawaii recognizes this rich legacy of Hawai‘i.”
