170810-N-YW024-0026 PEARL HARBOR Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS Jacksonville (SSN 699) makes its homecoming arrival at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, after completing its final deployment, Aug. 10. USS Jacksonville was commissioned on May 16, 1981 and was recently deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of operations and Indian Ocean. The submarine's ability to support a multitude of missions, including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface ship warfare, strike warfare, surveillance and reconnaissance, has made USS Jacksonville one of the most capable submarines in the world. The submarine is scheduled to be retired from the fleet in 2018. (U.S. Navy Photo by Mass Communications Specialist 2nd Class Katarzyna Kobiljak)
