Most of 1977 was spent doing weekly operations out of San Diego and recovering from the overhaul that was completed in the early part of that year. At the completion of one such operation ''Sculpin'' had returned and tied up to the tender, and was broadsided by the ''USS Snook SSN 592'' while ''Snook'' was trying to tie up next to ''Sculpin''. ''Snook'' spent the next 6 weeks in drydock for repairs and ''Sculpin'' ended up picking up ''Snook's'' operating schedule.
 
During the summer of 1978, ''Sculpin'' left San Diego, CA and heading south. She traversed the Panama Canal and continued North to her new home port, Groton, CTConnecticut. During the fall of that year, she participated in the Northern Wedding Exercises with a stop at Holy Loch Scotland for repairs. The ship returned to Groton for the Holiday Season and the crew got their first taste of Winter in New England. It was not well received... In February 1979 the boat left Groton for operations in the Mediterranean.
 
:''History from 1974 to 1990 needed.'' In 1975 the ''Sculpin'' was drydocked in Bremerton, Washington under the Command of Commander James J. Pistotnik. She left Bremerton in June 1977 and returned to San Diego.
