...A third USS New Jersey is under construction at a Virginia shipyard where a ceremonial keel-laying took place Monday.
..."The Navy's first submarine was designed and constructed in New Jersey and our state has always had a strong relationship with the Navy. It is only appropriate for the newest nuclear-powered submarine to be named in our state's honor," said U.S. Rep. Donald E. Norcross, D-N.J., who attended the ceremony as a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and chair of its Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces.
