Oregon will be a Virginia-class submarine, commemorating the history between the U.S. state of Oregon and the United States Navy. Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced its name on 10 October 2014 at a ceremony hosted at the Battleship Oregon Memorial in Portland's Tom McCall Waterfront Park.
Oregon's keel was laid down on 8 July 2017, in a ceremony held at the Quonset Point Facility of General Dynamics Electric Boat in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, with sponsor Mrs. Dana L. Richardson, wife of the Chief of Naval Operations, ADM John Richardson, in attendance. On 5 October 2019, Mrs Richardson christened Oregon at Electric Boat hall in Groton, Connecticut.
A contract modification for Oregon SSN-793, Montana SSN-794, and Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-795) was initially awarded to General Dynamics Electric Boat for $594.7 million in April 2012. On 23 December 2014 they were awarded an additional $121.8 million contract modification to buy long lead-time material for the three Virginia-class submarines. The U.S. Navy awarded General Dynamics Electric Boat the contract to construct 10 Block IV Virginia-class submarines for $17.6 billion on 28 April 2014. Vermont commenced in May 2014 with the tenth ship scheduled for delivery in 2023.[5] CDR Lacy Lodmell took over as commanding officer 20 November 2020.
