She was hit by three kamikazes, the first and third causing serious damage. Afterall the crew transfer likely took place not far off Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia, and under the watch of U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard patrols.The only advantage is that the crew transfer can be managed better from a COVID-19 perspective. USS Maryland escaped virtually unscathed and served with the Pacific Fleet as the tide of war turned against the Japanese. At the Battle of Saipan, she took a torpedo hit from a Japanese “Betty” bomber but survived without serious damage.

Could America have done more with the Pearl Harbor survivors in the first year of the war? Built to destroy enemy battleships, Maryland supported U.S. Navy operations with escort missions and shore bombardment through the end of the war, eventually finding the opportunity to engage Japanese warships in surface combat.

In late 1943, Maryland undertook her first shore bombardment mission, a role which would occupy her for most of the rest of the war. Maryland had an older array but nonetheless managed to straddle Yamashiro with several salvos. However, under provisions of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty, each submarine has had four of its missile tubes permanently deactivated and now carry a maximum of 20 missiles. To decrease the amount of time required for replenishment and maintenance, Ohio-class submarines have three large-diameter logistics hatches that allow sailors to rapidly transfer supply pallets, equipment replacement modules and machinery components, thereby increasing their operational availability.The Ohio-class design allows the submarines to operate for 15 or more years between major overhauls. Laid down in 1916, USS Maryland represented the zenith of “standard type” U.S. battleship development. Maryland, along with Colorado, West Virginia, Tennessee, Idaho, and New Mexico was detailed to destroy Yamato if she survived air attacks along the way.
Much work was done in a short period of time to modernize Maryland for the Pacific War. Consequently, the Treaty left Maryland and her remaining sisters as the most modern units in the fleet.

On average, the submarines spend 77 days at sea followed by 35 days in-port for maintenance. Maryland entered service in 1920, shortly before the Washington Naval Treaty sharply limited battleship construction. She suffered two bomb hits but received only superficial damage. Last week, the U.S. Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) USS Maryland conducted a full at-sea crew exchange to prevent sailors from possible COVID-19 exposure.
