USS Louisville (SSN 724) is a Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarine commissioned into the United States Navy on November 8, 1986. Throughout her distinguished service, Louisville participated in multiple deployments, notably launching Tomahawk cruise missiles during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, becoming the first submarine to do so in combat. She later supported Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003, again utilizing Tomahawk missiles against enemy targets. After more than three decades of active service, USS Louisville was decommissioned on March 9, 2021.
