180321-N-AI605-114 PEARL HARBOR (January 9, 2019) U.S. Navy Petty Officer Ian Benoit, a Logistics Specialist from Kansas City, Mo., is serving aboard the USS Charlotte (SSN 766), a Los Angeles-class submarine based out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii protecting and defending America on the world's oceans. Submariners are some of the most highly trained and skilled people in the Navy. The highly technical training ensures each crew operates, maintains, and repairs every system or piece of equipment on board. Regardless of their specialty, every submariner must learn how every system on the submarine works and how to respond in emergencies. “The camaraderie formed in the submarine community is the best part," said Benoit. "You can count on each other to be there for both personal and work related things. It makes deployments go by quicker and makes them a lot more fun.” Relying on its technological superiority, speed, endurance, mobility, stealth, and payload afforded by nuclear power, the Charlotte retains its preeminence and lethality in the undersea battlespace.
