The USS City of Corpus Christi (SSN-705), a Los Angeles-class attack submarine, visited its namesake city of Corpus Christi, Texas, a total of four times during its active service.

Corpus Christi Caller-Times

First Visit (March 16–22, 1983): The submarine's inaugural visit occurred shortly after its commissioning. During this six-day stay, the visit was so popular that the Chamber of Commerce issued 4,000 tickets via lottery for public tours.

Subsequent Visits: The vessel returned to the city three more times:
1986: This visit coincided with the Texas Sesquicentennial celebration. Over 10,000 people toured the ship during a five-day general visiting period.

1989: Name changed after many protest from Corpus Christi (The Body of Christ) , to the name of the City.

1999: The submarine's final visit to the city. I got a free hat when they found out I was a bubblehead...

The submarine was officially decommissioned in 2016. In April 2024, the submarine's sail (the top portion of the vessel) was transported to Corpus Christi to be restored and displayed as a permanent memorial at Sherrill Veterans Memorial Park.
