ArmyRecognition – The U.S. Navy has completed a Service Life Extension Program refueling overhaul for USS Cheyenne (SSN 773) at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, marking the first submarine to undergo an SLEP overhaul. The milestone extends Cheyenne’s service life beyond 44 years and highlights the Navy’s strategy to ease attack submarine shortages by sustaining existing platforms.
