Yesterday the USS Massachusetts Commissioned in Boston 🇺🇸
History was made in Boston Harbor as the USS Massachusetts (SSN-798) was officially commissioned into the United States Navy, marking the arrival of one of the most advanced submarines in the fleet.
This Virginia-class fast-attack submarine represents the cutting edge of naval capability—built for stealth, intelligence gathering, and precision strike missions. Powered by nuclear energy and equipped with advanced weapons systems, it is designed to operate anywhere in the world, largely undetected.
The commissioning ceremony was a powerful moment of tradition and pride, bringing the submarine to life in front of sailors, families, and supporters in a city deeply connected to America’s maritime history.
As the newest vessel to carry the name Massachusetts, it honors a long legacy while stepping into the future of naval warfare.
A proud day for the Navy—and for Massachusetts.
