The House concurrent resolution R-267 welcomes the officers and crew of the U.S. submarine VERMONT (USS VERMONT (SSN 792)) during their namesake visit to the State House on March 17, 2026. It highlights the submarine's significant contributions to the Australia, UK, and U.S. trilateral security partnership (AUKUS) and its historic achievements, including being the first submarine to complete maintenance outside U.S. territory and receiving the Navy Unit Commendation for its deployment that concluded in 2025. The resolution also notes the submarine's recognition for consecutive months of excellence.
In addition to the visit, the resolution designates April 18, 2026, as USS VERMONT (SSN 792) Day in Vermont, coinciding with the anniversary of the submarine's launch. An information display about the USS VERMONT will be set up at the State House on April 17, 2026, to commemorate the occasion. The resolution concludes by directing the Secretary of State to present a copy to the submarine's Commanding Officer, Commander Matthew Lewis, and the USS VERMONT Support Group.
