NORFOLK (Sept. 9, 2011) U.S. Navy Pre-Commissioning Unit (PCU) California (SSN 781) gets underway from Naval Station Norfolk to conduct weapons systems acceptance trials.  California, which is scheduled to be commissioned Oct. 29, is the Navy's eighth Virginia-class submarine, and the first submarine to bear the name of the state of California.  California was delivered to the navy by Huntington-Ingalls Industries-Newport News Shipbuilding more than eight months earlier than the scheduled contract delivery date and under cost.
