00:00Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:01I rise today to recognize the commissioning of the USS Iowa, the Navy's newest Virginia-class
00:09nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine.
00:12This weekend, I had the honor of attending the ceremony at Naval Submarine Base New London
00:17alongside Governor Kim Reynolds, veterans, and the families of over 140 crew members.
00:23It was a powerful moment marking the beginning of a new era.
00:27The USS Iowa is the third naval vessel to bear that name, following a battleship that served
00:33with distinction in World War II, both in the Atlantic and the Pacific, in the Korean War
00:39and in the Gulf.
00:41That proud legacy now continues beneath the sea.
00:44The legacy of the Grey Ghost and the new USS Iowa nuclear-class submarine begins its mission.
00:53A new legend for the USS Iowa began on Saturday.
00:58It is undefatigable.
00:59It is undeterred.
01:01It is undetected.
01:02And it is unstoppable.
01:05To the crew, thank you for your service and remember to one another to be Iowa nice.
01:11And to all those who may cross her path.
01:14And our adversaries fear the ghost.
01:18With that, I yield.
