 Santa Claus took a break from his duties in the North Pole for a brief ride aboard a Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS San Juan as she returned to Naval Submarine Base New London following a schedule underway. Santa visited the submarine capital of the world to greet military children and provide a little holiday cheer along the way. Santa and his helpers passed out toys which were donated by the non-profit organization Operation Homefront to more than 100 children who welcomed Santa to the Groton Base. Operation Homefront is donating thousands of toys to military children living in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut this holiday season. For Commander Submarine Group 2 Public Affairs, I'm Petty Officer Jason Perry.
