High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Henry M. Jackson (SSBN-730), is a United States Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine that has been in commission since 1984. She is the only U.S. Navy ship to have been named for United States Senator Henry M. "Scoop" Jackson (1912–1983) of Washington and the only Ohio-class submarine not named after a U.S. State. Henry M. Jackson originally was to have been named USS Rhode Island. The contract to build Rhode Island was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation at Groton, Connecticut, on 6 June 1977 and her keel was laid down there on 19 January 1981. Shortly after Senator Jackson died in office suddenly on 1 September 1983, Rhode Island was renamed Henry M. Jackson, and the name Rhode Island was transferred to another Ohio-class submarine, USS Rhode Island (SSBN-740).
