The Navy will commission its newest submarine, the USS Massachusetts, in Boston, a decision made earlier this month that “answers the call” from the state’s federal delegation.
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro alerted the delegation on Nov. 2 that he’s selected Boston as the site for the commissioning, according to a letter provided by Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s office.
“Considering the namesake of the ship and the unique roles that Massachusetts has in naval history, with seven previous ships bearing the Massachusetts name, this request is especially fitting,” Del Toro wrote. “I am pleased to announce that we will move forward with Boston as the commissioning site.”
“Despite the fact that I am a devoted NY Yankee fan,” Del Toro quipped in a hand-written addendum to his letter.
The commissioning is slated to take place in spring 2025, but the site it will be held at still needs to be selected, according to the USS Massachusetts Commissioning Committee.
Warren and the remainder of the delegation wrote a letter to Del Toro in June, urging him to select Boston for the commissioning, specifically at Flynn Cruiseport in Southie.
