The USS Aidan Matthew Tucker is the 5th ship of the 8 Ainsley Wall-class of Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines. The ship is in service with the United Federation Navy. The Ship is the first ship of the navy named for former Senator and Vice-Admiral Aidan Tucker.
The Tucker was laid down on the 17th of January, and the vessel was launched and commissioned on the 21st, 2019. The Ship is, as with her sisters, armed with torpedoes and missiles. The Ship is designed for Blue-Water operations as well as Littoral purposes, specifically riverine operations. The Aidan Tucker is planned to be deployed to either Crawfish River Naval Base or the Rydonian Naval Facilities.
After discovering that the navy was planning to name a vessel after him, Tucker formally requested that the Submarine carry his nickname. The Navy catered to this request, meaning that the Sub's full official name is USS Aidan Danger Matthew Tucker. This means that the ship has the longest name of any naval vessel.
