Summary[edit]

Description
English: Newport News, Va. (May 22, 2004) - Northrop Grumman welder Mr. Stanley Britt prepares to permanently weld the initials of Ship's sponsor Mrs. Linda Bowman (center) during the Keel Laying Ceremony of Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) North Carolina (SSN 777), the U.S. Navy's newest Virginia-class submarine. Accompanying them are from left to right Director Navy Nuclear Propulsion, Adm. Frank "Skip" Bowman, North Carolina Senator Elizabeth Dole, Northrop Grumman Newport News President Thomas C. Schievelbein and Asst. Secretary of the Navy (Installations and Environment) Hansford T. Johnson. PCU North Carolina is the 4th Virginia-class submarine to begin construction, and is the 6th Navy vessel to be named North Carolina. The Ship's sponsor Mrs. Linda Bowman said, "For the submarine North Carolina, my hope is that she will sail in peace to keep us free. My assurance is that she will always be ready to defend that freedom whenever necessary." The current construction schedule calls for the submarine's launching in late 2005 followed by commissioning in late 2007. U.S. Navy photo by Journalist 1st Class Donald P. Rule (RELEASED)
