The U.S. fleet grew by two this week as the Navy took delivery of a supply ship and its first new submarine in a decade. The Virginia-class sub USS Texas was turned over to the Navy following completion of sea trials off the coast of Virginia. Texas is the second boat in the nuclear-powered Virginia class and the first sub added to the fleet since the namesake USS Virginia in 1996. Formal commissioning will take place Sept. 9 in Galveston, Texas.
