It was a rainy homecoming for USS South Dakota who returned to the sub base in Groton, Connecticut after a deployment. That didn’t stop some people from gathering at Eastern Point Beach to welcome them home.
After Eastern Point Beach, I drove to a different spot to see the submarine up close. As usual, the sub vets were there with the cannon and flags to salute the sailors. I was able to capture a veteran pulling the cannon which made a cool action photo.
Thank you to the sailors of USS South Dakota and the families. If anyone would like the photos — please message me for a photo without watermark for no cost.
