The USS Delaware was announced this afternoon at the Pentagon by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, along with Second Lady Jill Biden and Delaware Lieutenant Governor Matt Denn. The sub is expected to enter service in 2018.
"I chose the name Delaware to honor the long-standing relationship between the Navy and our nation's first state," said Mabus. "It has been too long since there has been a USS Delaware in the fleet and this submarine will remind future deployed service members and state residents of their strong ties and many shared values for decades to come."
