Her keel was laid down by Fore River Shipbuilding Company in Quincy, Massachusetts, under a subcontract from Electric Boat Company of Groton, Connecticut, as Cuttlefish, making her the first ship of the United States Navy to be named for the cuttlefish, a ten-armed marine mollusk similar to the squid.
