The city is planning to turn them into a memorial, but they say it is undecided where that memorial would be. Until then, the sail will be kept at Kirtland Air Force Base. The USS Albuquerque is a nuclear submarine that was commissioned in 1983. It was given the hull name; SSN706, in recognition of the 1706 founding of the city.
