USS Virginia Returns From Deployment

USS Virginia (SSN 774) returned from her first real deployment on Tuesday (as opposed to the pre-PSA "deployment" the Navy trumpeted back in 2005). Here's a picture from the Navy:

From the text under the picture, it looks like Virginia visited Rota, Spain; Souda Bay, Greece; Fujahra, United Arab Emirates; and Aksaz, Turkey during her deployment. Pretty fair set of liberty ports for a LANTFLT boat.

For those who have never been on a Virginia-class boat, here's an interactive tour of USS New Mexico (SSN 779) that features 360 degree views of several compartments. Amusingly, the tour of the "Engine" room is actually AMR, but it's still pretty neat.

Update 0730 16 Apr: USS Jefferson City (SSN 759) also returned from deployment this week, to San Diego. Welcome home, guys!
