USS "John C. Calhoun" (SSBN-630), a "James Madison"-class ballistic missile submarine, was the only ship of the United States Navy to be named for John C. Calhoun (1782–1850), the distinguished legislator.
The contract to build her was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia on 20 July 1961 and her keel was laid down on 4 June 1962. She was launched on 22 June 1963 sponsored by Miss Rosalie J. Calhoun, and commissioned on 15 September 1964, with Commander Deane L. Axene in command of the Blue Crew and Commander Frank A. Thurtell in command of the Gold Crew.
After shakedown and training along the Atlantic coast, "John C. Calhoun" began operational patrols 22 March 1965.
"John C. Calhoun" received upgrades to carry Trident I missiles.
"John C. Calhoun" was decommissioned on 28 March 1994 at Port Everglades, Florida, and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 28 March 1994. Ex-"John C. Calhoun" entered the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program in Bremerton, Washington, and on 18 November 1994 ceased to exist.
