Construction of Texas (SSN 775) - nuclear-powered submarine - US Navy

Work began in August 2003 to join the last of Texas’ (SSN 775) hull sections together. Large hull sections which have previously had all the equipment installed are brought together and welded to form the completed ship’s hull. Pictured is the bow section being moved to join with the rest of the forward end of Texas.
