Pacific 06/30/87: In late June or early July, the Trident submarine USS Nevada(SSBN-733) suffers a breakdown while conducting routine operations following the improper installation of a power transmission gear during a recent February to April maintenance stop at the Newport News shipyard, Virginia. The damage is estimated at several million dollars, and causes the Nevada to cancel a special call at its new home port of Bangor, Washington. In response to queries the Navy says 'The safety of the ship and crew was never an issue and the ship is continuing its operations.'
