180321-N-AI605-132 PEARL HARBOR (January 9, 2019) U.S. Navy Officer Lt. j.g. Matthew Metzdorff, an Electronics Officer from Waseca, Minn., 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. “My favorite part about serving aboard submarines is how tight-knit the crew is and the sense of community," said Metzdorff. "In my opinion, they are the smartest people in the Navy. Everyone brings different strengths to the table, which makes us all better people and better as a command.” 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.
