The Albany (SSN 753), an "improved" Los Angeles-class attack submarine, is the fourth ship of the United States Navy to bear the name of New York’s capital city. The contract to build her was awarded to Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company in Newport News, Virginia, on November 29, 1983, and her keel was laid down on April 22, 1985.

June 13, 1987 The Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Albany was christened and launched during a ceremony at Newport News shipyard. Mrs. Nancy M. Kissinger, wife of Henry Kissinger, served as sponsor of the ship. Cmdr. Daryl R. Anderson is the prospective commanding officer.

The Albany was the last U.S. submarine built via the traditional "keel up" ship construction method. Thus, it was the last submarine to "launch" down the shipway. The pressure hull of USS Albany, and also USS Topeka (SSN 754), is partially manufactured using stronger HY-100 steel rather than the HY-80 steel used in the manufacturing of all other Los Angeles-class submarines. This was done to test construction methods using this steel, which would later be employed in the assembly of the new Seawolf-class submarines.
