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.
