The USS Greeneville on Friday returned to its homeport of Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego after a deployment to the Indo-Pacific region, a service news release said.
Families and friends greeted the sailors as they returned to port, according to the release.
“I am incredibly proud of the Greeneville crew,” said Capt. Phillip Sylvia Jr., commodore, Submarine Squadron 11. “They operated professionally in challenging environments, proving once again that our undersea forces are the apex predators of the maritime environment and their forward-deployed presence reinforced our commitment to peace through strength.”
