             subbirthday
 April 1994 was a momentous month for the United States submarine force as the last three subs of the original
"41 for Freedom" fleet ballistic-missile (FBM) program stood down
from service as the
front line of the nation's strategic-deterrence program. Named for American icons such as Tecumseh, George Washington Carver, and Kamehameha, these subs served their nation proudly on 2,824 patrols over more than thirty years.
