    Sailors aboard the Virginia-class nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine USS California (SSN 781) stand-by as they wait to reunite with family and friends during a homecoming celebration as California returns to Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Conn., Dec. 19, 2025, following a seven-month deployment to the U.S. European Command area of responsibility. California and crew operate under Submarine Squadron (SUBRON) 12, whose primary mission is to provide fast-attack submarines that are ready, prepared, and committed to meet the unique challenges of undersea combat and deployed operations in unforgiving environments across the globe.
