GROTON, Conn. (May. 5, 2007) - Sailors "man the ship," and officially
bring the newest Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine, USS Hawaii
(SSN 776), "to life" during her commissioning ceremony. USS
Hawaii (SSN 776) is the third Virginia-class submarine to be
commissioning, and the 1st major U.S. Navy combatant vessel class
designed with the post-Cold War security environment in mind and
embodies the war fighting and operational capabilities required to
dominate the littorals while maintaining undersea dominance in the open
ocean. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Mass Communication Specialist
