Using accurate positions from very deep radio observations to guide multiobject Keck spectroscopy, we have determined a substantially complete redshift distribution for very luminous distant submillimeter-selected galaxies (SMGs). A sample of 73 redshifts for SMGs in seven fields contains a surprisi...
