NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) - The USS Boise will return to Naval Station Norfolk on Thursday from a regularly scheduled deployment.

The ship left Naval Station Norfolk on May 2 and moved more than 37,000 nautical miles, conducting port visits in Bergen, Norway; Faslane, Scotland and Lisbon, Portugal.

Boise is nicknamed “A One Ship Fleet” and is the second U.S. Navy ship named after Idaho’s capital city. It was built by Newport News Shipbuilding and commissioned on Nov. 7, 1992.
