Fireworks illuminate the skies over Battleship North Carolina capping week long celebrations surrounding the commissioning the newest Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine USS North Carolina. North Carolina is the fourth Virginia-class submarine to be commissioned and the first major U.S. Navy combatant vessel class designed with the post-Cold War security environment in mind. North Carolina will be homeported in Groton, Conn., as a member of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet.
