USS JEFFERSON CITY, At Sea (NNS) -- Sailors aboard Los Angles attack submarine USS Jefferson City (SSN 759) participated in a special holiday celebration, Dec. 25.
The crew went to great lengths to keep the holiday spirit while remaining focused on their mission.
"During the last port visit in Bahrain, I put a lot of holiday music on my phone to help bring in the Christmas spirit," said Electronics Technician 3rd Class Patrick Lopez.
Culinary specialists and temporarily assigned food service personnel served a holiday feast to the crew. The meal included lobster tails, turkey, ham, stuffing, potatoes, yams, and an assortment of pies, candy and cakes.
"The pecan pie is the best here, but I was really impressed when I saw there was eggnog," said Machinist's Mate Weaponry 2nd Class Norman Williams. "Our boat has the best chefs in our squadron."
Jefferson City wrapped up the holiday celebration with a few remarks from the Chief of the Boat, Master Chief Electronics Technician Steven Jennings.
"Deployment during the holidays is a challenging time for our Sailors to be away from their families. The crew has worked hard and looked forward to the holiday celebration together at sea."
Jefferson City is assigned to Commander, Task Force 54, which commands U.S. submarine forces and coordinates theater-wide anti-submarine warfare in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
