The USS Bremerton pulled into Naval Base Kitsap Wednesday morning, beginning a visit by the Navy’s oldest active sub to its namesake city.
The sub and its crew will be here for at least six days, even performing a park cleanup at “Hal’s Corner” on Wheaton Way at Sheridan Road — fitting, since the area houses the battery and anchor from the original USS Bremerton, a Korean War-era cruiser.
Here’s some photos that I took of her arrival, and some other great ones submitted by readers.
As a homeowner in Bremerton, and a sailor on board the Bremerton, it’s good to be back home. Even if it is just a short stop.
