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.
