220326-N-GR655-0133 GROTON, Connecticut (March 26, 2022) – The Virginia-class submarine USS Delaware (SSN 791) transits the Thames River March 26, 2022. Delaware’s 132-man crew transited to Wilmington, Delaware to participate in week-long commemoration events in honor of the boat’s commissioning ceremony that took place administratively April 2020 due to COVID restrictions at the time. Delaware, the seventh U.S Navy ship and first submarine named after the first U.S. state of Delaware, is a flexible, multi-mission platform designed to carry out the seven core competencies of the submarine force: anti-submarine warfare; anti-surface warfare; delivery of special operations forces; strike warfare; irregular warfare; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; and mine warfare.
