In January and February 1991, as Operation Desert Storm began,Louisville carried out the first war patrol conducted by an American submarine since World War II.

Shortly after noon on 19 January, she launched Tomahawk cruise missiles against targets in Iraq, becoming the first submarine to launch Tomahawks in combat.
