Editing Ethan Allen-class submarine (section)

==Conversions==
To comply with [[SALT II]] treaty limitations as the {{sclass|Ohio|submarine|0}} ballistic missile submarines entered service, in the early 1980s the ''Ethan Allen''s were refitted and officially designated [[SSN (hull classification symbol)|SSNs]] (fast attack submarines), but often referred to as a "slow approach". Their missile [[fire control system]]s were removed and the missile tubes were filled with concrete. ''Sam Houston'' and ''John Marshall'' were further converted to carry [[United States Navy SEALs|SEALs]] or other [[Special Operations Forces]], accommodating 67 troops each with [[dry deck shelter]]s to accommodate [[SEAL Delivery Vehicle]]s or other equipment.  The ''Ethan Allen''-class submarines were decommissioned between 1983 and 1992.<ref name="Conways p612">
