USS Seawolf (SSN-21) is a nuclear-powered fast attack submarine and the lead ship of her class.

The contract to build Seawolf was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics on 9 January 1989 and her keel was laid down on 25 October 1989.

She was launched on 24 June 1995, sponsored by Mrs. Margaret Dalton, and commissioned on 19 July 1997.

The 7-year 9-month time period from keel laying to commissioning is the longest for a submarine in the U.S. Navy.
