260321-N-ME988-1062 ARCTIC OCEAN (March 21, 2026) Machinist’s Mate (Nuclear) 1st Class Christian Garcia, right, assigned to the Virginia-class fast attack nuclear-powered submarine USS Delaware (SSN 791), asks a question during the question-and-answer portion of a Crucible event to earn the Submarine Warfare qualification, commonly referred to as “fish,” while Delaware transits the Arctic Ocean, March 21, 2026. The Crucible event is the final stage in earning the Submarine Warfare qualification and consists of a question-and-answer board as well as damage control drills to demonstrate knowledge and skills learned. Delaware 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.
