The Silent Service.  Whether fast-attack SSNs from the Los Angeles or Seawolf Class, or ballistic missile subs (SSBNs) from the Ohio Class, all are powered by nuclear reactors and have extensive wartime capabilities.  With the end of the Cold War, these sentinels of the deep have evolved to perform new missions, but always with the same stealth that has been their hallmark.

USS Thomas A. Edison SSBN/SSN 610  - 2008 Reunion
in Saratoga Springs, NY

Crewmembers and their families will be getting together during the third week of May in this lovely location for the 2008 Reunion of the ship.  The THOMAS A. EDISON was commissioned on 10 March 1962 as a ballistic missile submarine, and served in this capacity until 1980, when her missile launch tubes were filled with concrete.  On 6 October 1980 she was redesignated as a nuclear attack submarine, SSN 610.  She was decommissioned on 1 December 1983.

With the assistance of members of the Reunion Committee, our profile artist, George Bieda, has produced 3 profile drawings of the USS Thomas A. Edison that represent the major configurations of the ship during her life.  We have made these drawings available at the Reunion, and are pleased to also offer them here.  The 3 drawings are pictured below -
