Groton, Conn. (June 17, 2006) - The Virginia-class nuclear attack
submarine Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Hawaii (SSN 776) currently
berthed at the Electric Boat Shipyard is decorated for her christening
ceremony. Hawaii is the third Virginia-class submarine to be
christened, and the 1st major U.S. Navy combatant vessel class designed
with the post-Cold War security environment in mind and embodies the

littorals while maintaining undersea dominance in the open ocean. U.S.
