   Converting
 San Francisco into a moored training ship required NNSY to separate the
 boat into three pieces, the removal of and recycling the center 
section, and then adding three new sections. The new hull sections 
arrived from Electric Boat via barge, which NNSY then craned into the 
dock and attached to the San Francisco. “We’ve been in dock for 34 
months, so it’s been a lot of effort to get to this day, but it’s 
exciting to be undocking with more than 90 percent production work 
complete,” said Project Superintendent Charles Brock. “We applied a lot 
of lessons learned from the La Jolla in areas such as Engineering 
Safeguard Features piping installation, component outfitting and tank 
restoration.” “Over
 the next year, San Francisco will undergo preparations for the final 
test program, grooming of the forward electrical systems and spaces for 
turnover to the ship,” said Brock. San Francisco is expected to be 
complete its conversion to a full-fledged moored training ship in late 
summer of 2021. 
San
 Francisco and La Jolla replace former submarines originally 
commissioned in 1964 and that have been in use as training platforms for
 the past three decades. 
The San Francisco and La Jolla replace the Dan. Webster and the Sam Raborn.
