Our very own US Navy submarine representing the state of Montana is still awaiting a commissioning date, but was officially launched earlier this month. Later this week the captain of the boat himself will join Governor Greg Gianforte (R-MT) for an update from the Montana state capitol.
The crew of the Naval submarine that will be named after our great state is in Big Sky Country as we speak. I joined the ship's captain, Commander Michael Delaney, and Petty Officer Evan Glenn, a Bozeman native, at a USS Montana welcome reception in Billings Thursday night.
