Commissioning Ceremony USS New Jersey (SSN 796) Naval Weapons Station Earle Middletown, New Jersey

Viewers, this footage is from my GoPro camera, hoping you would still enjoy this Naval Commissioning Ceremony.
On Saturday, September 14, 2024 the USS New Jersey (SSN 796) was commissioned - the U.S. Navy’s newest attack submarine - third warship to ever bear New Jersey’s name, during a ceremony in Monmouth County, which officially integrates the submarine into the naval fleet.
The USS New Jersey (SSN 796) is the first fully gender-integrated submarine built for both male and female sailors. The submarine has more doors and washrooms to create separate sleeping and bathing areas, but it also has more subtle design features.
Commanding Officer Commander Steven A. Halle, USN (SSN 796)
Rear Admiral Ronald Tucker, USN (Ret) the last Commander of the Battleship NJ (BB62) presented the “Long Glass” - the symbol of the deck’s authority in the ship of the line to Commander Steven A. Halle, USN (SSN 796)
