    Cmdr. Judson Thomas reads his orders during a change of command ceremony for the nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine USS Delaware (SSN 791) at Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut, May 29, 2026. During the ceremony, Thomas relieved Cmdr. Jason Patton as Delaware’s commanding officer. 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.
