Thanks Ethan for the link,
 
Yep, the Greene side wiped an undersea object with the resulting damage repair cost being more expensive than overhauling a boat scheduled to be decommissioned. The Greene went to the breakers yards and the other boat went into overhaul.

 I was reassigned to the USS Nathaniel Greene SSBN-636 that
 had an event resulting in becoming decommissioned two years
 into my sea tour.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OK, you got me hooked!

Would you please elaborate as to what transpired?

I subscribed to the 'Proceedings of the US Naval Institute' at that time but do not recall any mention of this 'event' & they did routinely cover various mishaps/disasters.

TIA,
