HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding division has finished the initial sea trials for the Virginia-class attack submarine USS New Jersey.

The trials, spanning several days, included testing the boat’s systems and components, submerging the vessel for the first time as well as executing high-speed maneuvers both on the surface and while submerged, HII said Thursday.

The New Jersey is the first submarine to be designed with modifications for gender integration. It will undergo further testing before its delivery to the U.S. Navy.

Commencing construction in 2016, the vessel had its keel authenticated in 2019. In 2021, the submarine was christened, and a year later, it was launched.
