the crew of the Los Angeles class submarine USS Providence (SSN 719) as
the submarine returns home to Submarine Base New London in time for the
holidays. Providence is returning from a scheduled six-month
deployment, which included a stop at the North Pole in July to
commemorate the 50th anniversary of the first submarine polar transit,
completed by USS Nautilus (SSN 571) in 1958. U.S. Navy photo by
