Montana (SSN 794) Sea Trials

Virginia-class submarine Montana (SSN 794) successfully competed alpha sea trials in February 2022. Alpha trials represent the very first time a ship gets underway to do what it was designed and built to do, including submerging for the first time and performing high-speed maneuvers on the surface and under water. The milestone is an important accomplishment for shipbuilders and represents a major step toward delivering the submarine to the U.S. Navy to defend our nation’s freedom. Watch this video to see Montana underway and to hear from NNS shipbuilders who helped bring her to life.
