The new Virginia-class attack submarine New Hampshire returned today to its homeport of New London, Conn., after its maiden voyage. New Hampshire operated in the European Command area and took part in the UK’s Joint Warrior — formerly known as Neptune Warrior — exercise. Other Virginia-class boats have done short first deployments to the 4th Fleet area.
New Hampshire, the fifth in its class, was commissioned less than a year ago, on Oct. 25 at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
