The contract to build Alaska was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton Connecticut on 27 February 1978 and her keel was laid down there on 9 March 1983. She was launched on 12 January 1985 sponsored by Mrs. Catherine Stevens wife of US Senator Theodore F. Stevens of Alaska; and commissioned on 25 January 1986. USS Alaska spent much of 1986 engaged in shakedown training for her two crews and in clearing up the many details that attend a new fleet ballistic missile submarine's addition to the Fleet. She operated initially from New London Connecticut and Port Canaveral Florida but shifted homeport to the Pacific Northwest later in the year 4 September to 1 October 1986. Alaska sailed through the Panama Canal and visited San Francisco California 21-29 September while en route.
