	USS Triton (SSRN-586) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		USS Triton (SSRN/SSN-586), a unique vessel, was the second submarine and the fifth ship of the United States Navy to be named for Triton, a Greek demigod of the sea who was the son of Poseidon and Amphitrite.
		Triton was designed in the mid-1950s as a radar picket submarine able to operate at high speed, on the surface, ahead of a task force, providing intelligence information, electronic surveillance, and to control fighter aircraft interception.
		Triton put to sea on her shakedown cruise on 15 February 1960, bound for the South Atlantic.

		But coming less than two years after the transpolar expedition of USS Nautilus, Triton's accomplishment was a clear reaffirmation of U.S. technological supremacy.

	Cold War Curiosities. U.S. Radar Picket Submarines.
		This was USS Triton (SSRN-586), which at 448 feet long and nearly 6,000 tons surface displacement, emerged as the longest U.S. submarine ever built until the appearance of the USS Ohio (SSBN-726) class in the early 1980s.
		Thus, in March 1961, Triton was reclassified as an attack submarine (SSN) and overhauled at Portsmouth between 1962 and 1964 to refuel her reactors and convert her for a new role.
		Triton joined 2nd Fleet in August 1960, and soon thereafter, she deployed to European waters to assume her role as a radar picket in a series of NATO exercises.
