Right now the submarine is called the PCU North Carolina. PCU means Pre Commissioning Unit. The ship is undergoing sea trials at this time.
It will be commissioned in Wilmington, NC, in May.
It is the first ship to carry the name since the battleship USS North Carolina was decommissioned in 1947. This ship is now on permanent display in Wilmington.
It would be something to see the two ships together. What a photo op!
