The USS John Warner, a Virginia-class attack submarine commissioned in 2015, was involved in the US' missile strike into Syria on Friday night, the Pentagon confirmed.

The Warner fired six Tomahawk missiles.

We got the chance to tour the Warner as it was docked at Naval Station Norfolk in November 2017.

Named after the former US senator John Warner — but nicknamed the "Sledgehammer of Freedom" by the crew — the Warner can perform a variety of missions for the US Navy... Читать дальше...
