US Vice President Mike Pence names a USS fast-attack submarine “Indiana” on President Donald Trump’s 100th day at helm.
As the president ended his 100th day in office on Saturday, Pence christened the new submarine at the Newport News Shipyard in Virginia.
“[Trump] sent me here today on this historic occasion as a sign of his deep commitment to the Armed Forces of the United States of America, and to his commitment to make the strongest fighting force in the world even stronger still,” Pence said. “At a time of mounting threats across the globe, President Trump has made it clear America’s national security is this President’s highest priority now and always.”
This is the third US Navy ship that has been christened with the name of the Hoosier state.
Before starting his work under the new president in January, Pence served as the governor of the US state of Indiana.
