History In February 1965, Halibut entered Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard for a major overhaul, then on August 15 was redesignated an attack submarine and given the hull classification symbol SSN-587. She sailed from Pearl Harbor on September 6 for the West Coast, arriving at Keyport, Washington, on September 20. On October 5, she departed Keyport for Pearl Harbor and after a stopover at Mare Island, California, arrived on October 21. Halibut then began ASW operations in the area until August 1968 when she transferred to Mare Island for overhaul and installation of side thrusters, hangar section sea lock, anchoring winches, fore and aft mushroom anchors, saturation diving habitat, long and short range side look sonar, video and photographic equipment, main frame computer, induction tapping and recording equipment, port and starboard fore and aft seabed skids, towed underwater search vehicle, and other specialized oceanographic equipment. She returned to Pearl Harbor in 1970 and operated with the Pacific fleet and Submarine Development Group One out of San Diego with attachment offices at Mare Island until decommissioning in 1976. Halibut was also used on secret underwater espionage missions by the United States against the Soviet Union. Her notable accomplishments include: underwater tapping of a Soviet communication line running from the Kamchatka peninsula to the mainland in the Sea of Okhotsk (Operation Ivy B); photography and assistance in the recovery of a sunken Soviet submarine K-129 in the CIA's Project Jennifer.
