Every city has its charm, its proud traditions, and of course, its troublemaker with a colorful past. In Pasadena, California, they call it the "Crown of the Valley." But beneath the waves, USS Pasadena (SSN-752) is a different kind of crown—a true force of the deep with tales that only her crews can fully tell.

She’s been known for her share of underwater thuggery when duty calls, always ready to roam the oceans with a steely grin. Spotted here with a few of her closes friends—Republic of Korea Ship Lee Jong Moo (SS-66) and USS Columbus (SSN-762)—this trio patrolled the Pacific during Exercise RIMPAC '98 on July 19, 1998, sharpening their skills and keeping things interesting beneath the surface.

Whether it’s coasting through calm waters or lurking in the depths, USS Pasadena carries her city’s name with pride and plenty of power to back it up.
