      Bill,
      I though that when I read it. Clearly the writer doesn’t know the difference between the christening and the formal commissioning, when the Navy accepts the boat. Lots of work on both the submarine left to accomplish, along with crew training.

        Maybe autoevolution.com isn't the most authoritative site to source submarine information . . .

          Bill, you crack me up. No mincing of words.
          Thank you!
          If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

            This source has been pretty accurate with it’s I formation. It says the boat was “christened” on July 31, 2021.
