    220402-N-GR655-1000 WILMINGTON, Delaware (April 2, 2022) – President of the United States Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden operate the periscope using a video game controller alongside U.S. Fleet Forces commander Adm. Daryl Caudle, right, and Cmdr. Matthew Horton, commanding officer of the Virginia-class submarine USS Delaware (SSN 791), following a commissioning commemoration ceremony in Wilmington, Delaware April 2, 2022. The initial commissioning took place administratively in April 2020 due to COVID restrictions at the time and is the first submarine to be commissioned while submerged. 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.
