Her keel was laid down on 15 August 1961 by the Electric Boat Company of Groton, Connecticut. On 10 April 1963, USS Thresher (SSN-593), the lead ship of Thresher class submarine, was lost due to severe design flaws in her non-nuclear piping systems. Because she was still early in the construction process, ''Greenling'' was one of three selected Thresher class submarine selected for conversion to the "improved ''Thresher'' class." She was ship naming and launching on 4 April 1964 sponsored by Mrs. H.C. Bruton. On 29 April, she was towed to Quincy, Massachusetts, for lengthening and submarine safety program (SUBSAFE) modifications. Modifications included increased buoyancy and adding 13 feet 9 inches of length to the hull, providing improved living and working conditions for the crew and space for additional equipment. Before construction of ''Greenling'' was completed, she and her sister ships were redesignated the ''Permit'' class, after the USS Permit (SSN-594). ''Greenling'' was ship commissioning on 3 November 1967 with Commander Guy H.B. Schaffer in command. On 27 May 1968, Greenling's fleet training exercise was interrupted by the search and rescue operation for USS Scorpion (SSN-589). Her Commanding Officer was designated the Commander of the SAR Task Element, which included of three nuclear and four diesel submarines. That assignment continued until 12 June 1968. ''Greenling'' was decommissioned on 18 April 1994 and was subsequently disposed through the Nuclear Powered Ship and Submarine Recycling Program at Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on 30 September 1994.
