One of the U.S. Navy’s next attack submarines will presumably be named the USS Iowa. On Wednesday, Gov. Terry Branstad will join Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and Iowa State University President Steven Leath at a ceremony at ISU to announce the naming of the next Virginia-class submarine. The Virginia-class subs, which usually have state names, are nuclear-powered and designed to deliver highly accurate Tomahawk cruise missiles and conduct covert, long-term surveillance missions. Now under contract by the Navy, the submarine will be built under a unique teaming agreement between General Dynamics Electric Boat and Huntington Ingalls Industries-Newport News Shipbuilding. The naming ceremony will be held at 3 p.m. at the Memorial Union in the Campanile Room.
