Representative Quang Nguyen will recognize the crew of the PCU Arizona during a ceremony at the Arizona House of Representatives. The event is scheduled to take place at 1700 W. Washington St., Phoenix, and members of the public are welcome to attend in person or watch via livestream on www.azleg.gov/liveproceedings.
Nguyen emphasized the significance of the submarine’s name for both Arizona and the nation. “The crew of PCU Arizona carries a name that means a great deal to our state and commands respect across this country,” said Representative Quang Nguyen. “These sailors stand watch in silence, operate under immense pressure, and defend this country with discipline, courage, and grit. As the father of a daughter serving aboard a Navy submarine, I know this duty demands sacrifice from both sailors and their families alike. Arizona is proud to welcome this crew to the people’s House and pay tribute to their service to our nation.”
Arizona State Representative Michael Carbone, a Republican who began representing the state’s 25th House District in 2023 after replacing Michelle Udall, is also part of the current legislative body.
