    SAN DIEGO -- The crew of the submarine USS Jefferson City arrived
    home Wednesday from a six-month deployment to the western Pacific.

    Friends and family greeted the nearly 140 sailors at Naval Base
    Point Loma.

    The deployment covered more than 40,000 nautical miles, the Navy said.

    Ports included Japan, Bahrain and Singapore.

    The crew participated in two community-relations projects. In Bahrain,
    the sailors worked at a center that helps children with learning and
    communication disabilities. In Singapore, the sailors, including Cmdr.

    Ed Anderson, went to Armenian Church of St. Gregory the Illuminator
    to help complete a cleaning project in and around the historic church.

    The sailors also "executed missions critical to national security"
    and took part in several U.S. and multinational naval exercises,
    the Navy said.

    Jefferson City, a Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine, was
    commissioned in February 1992.
