USS Montana

Montana, Montana, Glory of the Seas

A powerful, informative, and fun television documentary, Montana, Montana, Glory of the Seas tells the story of two USS MONTANA warships – and landlocked Big Sky Country’s unique relationship with the US Navy for more than one hundred years.

First televised on February 22, 2025, the documentary was produced by Great Falls native Craig Wirth whose popular programs have provided unique stories about Montana and the West for many years. This one focuses on the USS MONTANA (SSN 794) nuclear-powered fast attack submarine that joined the Navy’s Pacific Fleet in 2024, and the legacy it inherited from the first USS MONTANA, Armored Cruiser Number 13, that was commissioned in 1908. It connects these warships to all Montanans who have supported them and their sailors.

Joining the Greater Montana Foundation, the Montana, Montana… lead funder, in supporting the program were Humanities Montana and the USS Montana Committee.
