August 6, 201114 yr Looking for operative deployment of the SSBN converted in SSN in compliance with the SALT I treaty, I've finded this in the Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Thomas_A._Edison_(SSBN-610) During the construction of Thomas A. Edision, the construction captain requested that a Steinway piano be placed aboard. This piano remained on board the submarine for 22 years (1961–1983) up through her decommissioning. The Steinway piano is the only example of a full-sized piano ever installed on a U.S. submarine conducting nuclear deterrent patrols.
