USS Cheyenne

The proclamation honors the storied history of the last Los Angeles-class submarine built by Newport News Shipyards and her departing commander, John T. Gonser.

The nuclear submarine is the sixth United States Navy vessel named for Wyoming's Capital City and is currently based at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

The Cheyenne is one of a number of U.S. Navy ships that have been deployed to the area recently.

Cmdr. Noel Gonzalez says the Cheyenne has pictures of the city of Cheyenne on board and reminders of the sub's mission and it's relationship to the community.
