  USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
USS Ethan Allen (SSBN-608), lead ship of her class, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Ethan Allen.
To make room for the new Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines within the limitations of SALT II, Ethan Allen's missile tubes (and those of other earlier ballistic missile submarines) were disabled and she was redesignated an attack submarine with hull classification symbol SSN-608 on 1 September 1980.
The destruction of Ethan Allen was intended to simulate the explosion and sinking of a nuclear missile submarine, although the Ethan Allen class boats were considerably smaller than the Typhoon/Akula class ones.
