Jill Biden was on hand to speak the traditional words that formalized the Delaware’s status as a fighting vessel — even though it has been in service for two years.
President Biden praised his wife Jill as an “incredible partner” in a brief 3-minute address Saturday at the ceremonial commissioning of the USS Delaware, the Navy’s newest nuclear-powered submarine.
“Jill has watched over the progress of the USS Delaware for years,” Biden asserted. Jill Biden was named the ship’s official sponsor in 2018, when she smashed a bottle of champagne over its hull to christen it as construction neared completion. “She always holds military and their families in her heart. And that is not hyperbole, that is real,” Biden added.
