The U.S. Navy on Saturday officially commissioned its newest fast-attack submarine, the USS Hyman G. Rickover (SSN-795).
It is the fourth Block IV Virginia-class submarine to enter service.
The boat was designed with enhanced stealth, sophisticated surveillance capabilities, and special warfare enhancements to meet the Navy’s multi-mission requirements. The USS Hyman G. Rickover will provide the capabilities required to maintain the nation’s undersea supremacy well into the 21st century, the Navy stated.
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro delivered the principal address at Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut. He commended the shipbuilders and crew, while he described the commissioning as a “true milestone for the fleet.”
