Lineage

The USS Sally Ride is named for American physicist and astronaut Sally Ride. In 1983, Sally Ride became the first American woman in space, as part of the NASA crew of the space shuttle OV-099 Challenger. Having done so at the age of 32, she remains the youngest American astronaut to have traveled to space. Sally Ride was also the first known LGBT astronaut.
