BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The Navy’s USS North Dakota submarine has returned from its first deployment.

The military on Wednesday announced that the attack sub had returned to its homeport in Groton, Connecticut, after serving a six-month security mission in the European area.

The $2.6 billion, 377-foot-long submarine is able to launch cruise missiles, deliver special forces and carry out surveillance. It’s the first Navy vessel to carry the name North Dakota in a century. It was commissioned in 2014.
