USS Montana

US Navy Commander Michael Delaney and Electronics Technician Second Class Evan Glenn of Bozeman will be in Billings on September 20th to share information about the USS Montana, a new Virginia Class fast attack submarine that will bear the state’s name.

When she hits the water, the USS Montana will be the most advanced active nuclear submarine in the world.

It could become a much sought-after symbol of a legendary ship, and supplies are currently limited.  The Billings Heights Veterans of Foreign Wars post currently has a limited supply of USS Billings hats for sale.  KTVQ.com reports that Chuck Carroll, with the Billings VFW, received an original USS Billings hat from the United States Secretary of the Navy at the vessel’s naming ceremony in August
