TSAMTO, May 6. Huntington Ingalls Industries has announced the launch ceremony of a new multipurpose SSN-796 "New Jersey" class "Virginia" submarine held at the Newport News Shipbuilding enterprise.

As reported by TSAMTO, SSN-796 "New Jersey" will be the 23rd submarine of the Virginia class and the 11th submarine of the series delivered by Newport News Shipbuilding.
