KITTERY, Maine (AP) - The Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Greeneville arrived Friday for maintenance and upgrades at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
The submarine covered nearly 50,000 nautical miles on its most recent deployment before relocating its homeport from Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, to Groton, Connecticut, last month.
The 360-foot (109.7-meter) nuclear-powered submarine cruised into shipyard on Friday with more than 140 officers and enlisted sailors aboard. While at the shipyard, the Greeneville will complete routine scheduled maintenance and undergo several system upgrades, officials said.
The Greeneville was built at Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia and commissioned into service in 1996. It’s named in honor of the city of Greeneville, Tennessee.
