Recognizing the service of the Los Angeles-class attack submarine, the USS Oklahoma City, and the crew of the USS Oklahoma City, who served the United States with valor and bravery.

This resolution (HRES 1143) is a symbolic recognition of the USS Oklahoma City (SSN-723), a Los Angeles-class attack submarine, and its crew for their service to the United States. It honors the submarine’s 34-year career, including global deployments, support during the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing aftermath, and its role as the first Navy submarine to adopt all-electronic navigation. The resolution has no policy or legal effect - it does not fund, change laws, or directly affect any individuals or entities beyond expressing congressional appreciation for the vessel’s service. It was introduced in May 2022, following the submarine’s decommissioning on May 20, 2022.
