USS "Gurnard" (SSN-662), a "Sturgeon"-class submarine, was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for the gurnard, a kind of fish. The contract to build her was awarded to Mare Island Naval Shipyard on 24 October 1963, and her keel was laid down on 22 December 1964. She was launched on 20 May 1967 sponsored by Mrs. George P. Miller, and commissioned on 6 December 1968, with Commander William S. Cole, Jr. in command.
