USS Tennessee (SSBN-734), an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, was the fourth ship and first submarine of the United States Navy to be named for the 16th state. There had also previously been two ships of the Confederate States Navy to bear the name.

Authorized in FY1980, the contract to build her was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on 7 January 1982 and her keel was laid down on 9 June 1986. She was launched on 13 December 1986 sponsored by Mrs. Landess Kelso, and commissioned on 17 December 1988, with Captain D. Witzenburg in command of the Blue Crew and Captain Kenneth D. Barker in command of the Gold Crew.

SSBN-734 was the first Trident II missile submarine to be commissioned. See USS Tennessee for other ships of the same name.

In Tom Clancy's novel Debt of Honor, the Tennessee is one of several submarines sent to deal with the Japanese invasion of the Marianas Islands.
In Tom Clancy's novel Executive Orders, the Tennessee is one of the U.S. Navy's submarines monitoring Chinese fleet exercises.
