 Virginia-class attack submarine USS California made her way up the Thames River in Groton to return to Naval Submarine Base, New London following an 11-month post-shakedown availability at General Dynamics Electric Boat. More than one year ago, USS California arrived in Groton following her commissioning at Naval Station Norfolk in October 2011. California's recent maintenance availability provides the attack submarine with the most modern combat system of any previous Virginia-class submarine. For Commander Submarine Group II Public Affairs, I'm Petty Officer Jason Perry.
