August 16, 2003 The lead boat of the U.S. Navy's next-generation attack submarine, PCU Virginia (SSN 774), was christened during a ceremony at Electric Boat Corporation’s shipyard in Groton, Conn. Capt. David Kern is the prospective commanding officer. October 23, 2004 USS Virginia was commissioned at Norfolk Naval Station. She will be homeported in Groton, Conn. Ten of a projected 30 Virginia-class submarines are under contract to be built by General Dynamics Electric Boat and Northrop Grumman Newport News. November 23, 2005 USS Virginia, commanded by Cmdr. Todd Cramer, returned to Naval Submarine Base New London after a maiden underway period in support of the Global War on Terrorism. January 12, 2006 SSN 774 entered the Electric Boat's shipyard for post-shakedown availability. June 27, 2008 Capt. Robert E. Clark relieved Capt. Richard P. Breckenridge as Commander Submarine Squadron 4, during a change-of-command ceremony held aboard the Virginia.

The test launches, the first ever for a Virginia-class submarine, included the launch and extended flight of multiple missiles to demonstrate the Virginia's launch capabilities. Emblazoned on a blue background that symbolizes the mighty deep, USS VIRGINIA is prominently positioned. The forward view of VIRGINIA denotes her leading the Submarine Force into a new century and onto a new and exciting course for the United States Navy. The gold lettering and border around the seal combined with the blue background represent the Navy’s colors of blue and gold. The silhouette of the Commonwealth of Virginia represents the state for which the ship is named. Each of the nine stars represents an American warship named VIRGINIA. The single point of light at the stern of the ship symbolizes both the nuclear propulsion plant that powers the submarine as well as the ship’s data processing system fiber optic backbone. In keeping with the Commonwealth of Virginia’s motto, the words “Sic Semper Tyrannis” (Latin for “Thus Always To Tyrants”) appear at the bottom, which combined with the symbolism of the Commonwealth’s Seal, represents the triumph of Virtue over Tyranny. The image of George Washington also looks forward with VIRGINIA. George Washington, a Virginia native, has been characterized as the “indispensable man” vital to the formation of the republic. In all of history, few men who possessed unassailable power have used that power so selflessly and wisely for the welfare of their countrymen and all mankind. USS Virginia SSN-774 (wallpaper 3).
