La Jolla = The Jewel.

Fair winds and following seas, bubbleheads.

What's really funny is that this boat isn't even named for a city--it's named for a neighborhood (albeit a very tony one) of San Diego.

One tough boat - and even a tougher crew !

Smooth seas, Navy.

"A tug gently guides the nuclear-powered La Jolla (SSN-701) away from its pier at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, 23 Feb. 2004 as it heads out for a scheduled Western Pacific deployment. The submarine is equipped with the Special Operations capable Dry Deck Shelter (DDS), which can allow special operation forces including Navy SEALs (Sea, Air, Land) to deploy undetected from deployed submarines."
