About this listen
The USS Daniel Boone took her name from one of America’s most enduring legends, the frontiersman Daniel Boone. Born on November 2, 1734, in Pennsylvania, Boone became a symbol of courage, exploration, and rugged independence. He blazed the Wilderness Road through the Cumberland Gap, opening the way for settlers into Kentucky, and his adventures in the American frontier made him a folk hero even in his own lifetime. Boone fought in the French and Indian War and later in the Revolutionary War, defending frontier settlements against British-allied forces. Though often romanticized in later tales, the real Boone was a man of endurance and adaptability, traits that mirrored the submarine that bore his name. Just as the frontiersman explored uncharted lands to secure a future for his people, the submarine Daniel Boone explored the depths of the sea to safeguard a nation standing watch in an uncertain age.
