USS AUGUSTA (SSN 710) is the fifth ship of the fleet to bear the name AUGUSTA, and named for the capital of the great state of Maine.
USS AUGUSTA (CA-31) served as the flagship of the Asiatic Fleet in the 1930s, at one time commanded by then Capt. (and future Fleet Admiral) Chester Nimitz.
USS AUGUSTA apparently thrives on cold weather, as the boat was commissioned a year later during a driving snowstorm on Jan. 19, 1985 in its "home" state at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine.

During the early months of 1799, the frigate USS General Greene was in the process of fitting out for service against France following the "X,Y,Z affair," and her captain, Christopher Perry, recommended his son for one of the coveted midshipman appointments.
During that period Perry served on such famous ships as the USS Adams, USS Constellation, USS Nautilus, USS Essex, and USS Constitution, but he was not involved in any of the memorable engagements of those little known wars.
Perry's flagship, the USS Lawrence, was incapacitated, but he went back and got the smaller USS Niagara, transferred the flag that read "Don't Give Up The Ship," (honoring the last words of Capt. James Lawrence of the USS Chesapeake) then went back and beat the British ships under the command of Capt. Robert Heriot Barclay.
