HM1 (SS) Chris Yaras kisses his daughter, Ella, for the first time during USS Hartford’s return to Naval Submarine Base New London. Ella was born four weeks ago during the submarine’s nearly month-long surface transit from Bahrain.  Hartford is expected to enter Electric Boat shipyard for a thorough inspection to assess required repairs following the March 20 collision with the amphibious transport dock ship USS New Orleans (LPD 18) in the Strait of Hormuz.
