231207-N-GR655-1420 ARLINGTON, Virginia (December 7, 2023) – A wreath stands in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier during a Pearl Harbor Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, Dec. 7, 2023. Cmdr. Thomas Digan, commanding officer of the future USS Arizona (SSN 803), and ship’s sponsor Nikki Stratton laid the wreath. Digan and a group of five Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) Arizona submariners traveled from Groton, Connecticut to honor the former USS Arizona (BB 39) on the 82nd anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor in 1941. PCU Arizona and crew operate under Submarine Squadron (SUBRON) 12 and its primary mission is to provide fast-attack submarines that are ready, willing, and able to meet the unique challenges of undersea combat and deployed operations in unforgiving environments across the globe.
