USS Virginia was built by the Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia. After extensive shake down sailing, Virginia underwent a extended yard period from April to September 1977. Virginia first crossed the Atlantic in August 1978 during a three month "North Atlantic". Over the following sixteen years, Virginia deployed regularly to the "MED", Caribbean, and on into the Indian Ocean as the US Navy established a standing naval force in the Persian Gulf after the Hostage Crisis in Iran. USS Virginia served her country for 18 years, 1 month and 30 days, until decommissioned on 10 NOV 1994. Virginia was disposed of, along with her sister nuclear powered cold warriors, by the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in 2002. *COMBINED SHIPPING AVAILABLE* For combined shipping place all items in cart then purchase all items together from cart for 1 combined shipping charge...
