House concurrent resolution welcoming the March 17, 2026, namesake visit of the officers and crew of the U.S. submarine VERMONT (USS VERMONT (SSN 792)) to the State House and designating April 18, 2026, as USS VERMONT (SSN 792) Day in Vermont

The bill is a resolution from the Vermont House that welcomes the officers and crew of the U.S. submarine Vermont during their visit to the State House on March 17, 2026. It also designates April 18, 2026, as USS Vermont Day in Vermont to honor the submarine and its crew.

Supporters of the bill would highlight it as a celebration of Vermont's connection to the U.S. Navy and a way to honor the service of the submarine's crew. They may emphasize the importance of recognizing military service and fostering pride in the state's namesake vessel.

Critics might argue that the resolution is a trivial use of legislative time and resources, suggesting it focuses on ceremonial matters instead of addressing pressing state issues. They may also question the appropriateness of designating a day for a military vessel in light of ongoing social challenges.
