GROTON, Conn. -- The Navy will get the keys Thursday to its newest nuclear submarine, the USS New Hampshire.
Eight months ahead of schedule and $40 million under budget, the New Hampshire will be turned over to the Navy at the General Dynamics Electric Boat shipyard in Groton, Conn.
The New Hampshire was christened in June and has gone through sea trials since then.
The Navy will run more sea trials and training before the sub makes its way to the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard for commissioning in October.
