USS L. Mendel Rivers (SSN-686) was an American nuclear powered fighter submarine (SSN). The keel was laid in 1971, the launch took place in June 1972, and the unit entered service with the US Navy in 1975. The length of the ship was 92.1 m, width 9.65 m, and the underwater displacement was about 4,960 tons. The maximum underwater speed is approximately 25 knots. The ship had four 533 mm torpedo tubes.

USS L. Mendel Rivers belonged to the Sturgeon class. Units of this type were developed and put into production as a modernization and extension of the Permit / Tresher class. Compared to their predecessors, they differed in several important elements. Externally, they had a much larger and taller kiosk. In addition, the structure of the ships was strengthened so that they could operate in the waters covered with ice pack. They were also bigger than their predecessors. They could also carry a wider range of torpedoes, rockets and rocket-torpedoes. The last ships in the series also improved the ability to detect enemy submarines and modernized electronic equipment. Sturgeon-class ships were also better soundproofed than Permit-class ships. USS L. Mendel Rivers (SSN-686) belonged to the sub-type of the Sturgeon class, which had a hull extended by 9 meters, which allowed to improve the working comfort of the crew. In the 1990s, the ship received a special, waterproof hangar behind the kiosk, which allowed it to support special forces operations. USS L. Mendel Rivers was decommissioned in 2001.
