The USS Cincinnati was a nuclear-powered submarine that was built during the Cold War. It was one of 62 sister submarines with the purpose of defending the US homeland and carriers against the USSR submarines. In addition, the USS Cincinnati gathered information about the USSR. The submarine was in service from 1978 until the USSR collapsed in 1991. It was decommissioned in 1996 and scrapped in a naval shipyard in 2012.
