“USS New Jersey (SSN 796) is now commissioned and ready for service!” the Navy proudly announced in a post on X. “The Navy’s latest Virginia-class submarine joins the fleet.”

USS New Jersey is the “first fully integrated submarine built for both male and female sailors” in the 100-year history of submarines, according to the video posted by the Navy.
