General Dynamics Electric Boat in Groton, Conn., christened the fast attack submarine USS New Hampshire (SSN-778), considered the U.S. Navy's most advanced nuclear submarine, in a shipyard ceremony. The christening coincided with the 220th anniversary of New Hampshire's statehood, on June 21,2008. New Hampshire is the fifth ship in the Virginia class of next-generation fast attack submarines designed to counter post-Cold War threats and safeguard the nation in the 21st century.
