NORFOLK, Va. — The Navy is getting ready to commission its newest nuclear submarine.

This Saturday the New Mexico will be the latest to join the Navy’s attack submarine fleet.

On Thursday, the Navy held an open house to show off the 377-foot-long, Virginia-class attack sub. The 7,800 ton vessel was built for $2.7 billion at Newport News’ Northrop Grumman shipyard.

The New Mexico and its crew of 134 sailors and enlisted officers ultimately will be home-ported in Groton, Conn.
