It’s apparently official now that the date for the commissioning of the Submarine New Jersey (SSN796) has been changed to September 14.
The submarine, the third naval vessel to be named for the Garden State, and the first submarine after two battleships to bear the state’s name, will still be commissioned at Naval Weapons Station Earle at its Leonardo pier.
According to the New Jersey Submarine Commissioning Committee, the time for ceremony will be at 10 a.m. and will be followed by a Jersey Themed luncheon, music, static displays and tours of the vessel.
Not only does the delay provide for more time to provide more activities for sailors and the community, but chances of more excellent weather also remain high.
Those who have registered for tickets to the ceremony should remain aware if any changes will be made to the current listing of registered personnel. The PreCommissioning Committee will also follow the plans of the US Navy and make any changes known as soon as possible.
The submarine will undergo its sea trials both this month and continuing with drills, tests and exercises aimed at achieving satisfactory completion of construction.
The Committee’s ship‘s store remains active with new items included on a regular basis. Newest product to be available is Firepower for Freedom coffee which can be found on the ships; store at www.tourism.visitgmonmouth.com or at https://www.
Profits from all purchases go towards programs for the ship’s crew.
