Happy Submarine Day!

Published by on 11.04.2020

April 11 marks the day USS Holland VI – the first modern submarine to be commissioned by the U.S. Navy – was purchased. Since then, this day has been reserved on the calendar to honor the servicemen and women who spend inordinate periods of time within the tight confines of navy submarines to keep our shores safe.
