Cheyenne has served as a trials platform for flat-screen, interoperative sonar displays based on commercially available equipment.
Cheyenne was the first ship to launch Tomahawk missiles in Operation Iraqi Freedom[3] under the command of CDR Charles Doty. Cheyenne would go on to successfully launch her entire complement of Tomahawks, earning a "clean sweep" for combat actions in the final three months of a nine-month deployment. This dubbed her "First To Strike". Her motto is "Ride the Legend".
USS Cheyenne was the final Los Angeles–class submarine built by Newport News Shipyards. Following the construction of USS Cheyenne, Newport News began preparation for construction of the Virginia-class submarine.
In the 2000 novel Quicksilver by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens, Cheyenne was ordered to fire a Tomahawk TLAM Block Four cruise missile, under manual control of Weapons Officer Lt. Miken Marano, at the River Entrance of the Pentagon.
