NORFOLK, Va. (May 9, 2008) -- Cmdr. Ed Mayer IV, far right, commanding officer of the Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Oklahoma City (SSN 723) prepares his submarine for the deployment as she departs Norfolk. Oklahoma City will participate in operations supporting national security and contributing directly to the maritime strategy. This deployment will be Oklahoma CityÕs second using the Voyage Management System, a paperless navigation system that uses digital charts, GPS fixes, environmental sensors and electronic command and control. The system helps the submarine locate and identify potential navigational hazards, allowing for a smooth, safe deployment. U.S. Navy photo by Electrician's Mate 2nd Class Xander Gamble (Released)
