Why did we pick #799?
Did you know that the most recent commissioned USS submarienes is the USS Idaho, SSN 799?
She was christened in March of 2024 and will be ccmmissioned into the Navy fleet during the spring of 2025. She follows four previous ships named USS Idaho, proudly presenting our home state. In recogntion of this great new leading-edge nuclear-powered submarine, our committee respectfuly chose #799 for our newest Sea Ship.
