This weekend, I ha[d] the honor of attending the christening of the USS Idaho alongside former Governor Dirk Kempthorne and U.S. Navy officials in Connecticut.

The USS Idaho is the first U.S. Navy warship to bear the name USS Idaho in more than 100 years!

On Monday, First Lady Teresa and I joined Idahoans and members of the USS Idaho Commissioning Committee at the Boise premiere of “Idaho’s Nuclear Navy.” Produced by Idaho Public Television, this documentary tells the story of Idaho’s significant contributions to the Navy and nuclear advancement.
