The primary U.S. Submarine Bases are:
Groton, Connecticut (New London)
Norfolk, Virginia
King's Bay, Georgia
Mare Island, California (San Francisco)
San Diego, California
Bangor, Washington
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
Groton, King's Bay and Bangor are Submarine bases only; King's Bay and Bangor are the Trident Submarine refit facilities. Groton is the traditional home of all Submariners, being just a stone's throw from General Dynamics' Electric Boat Division, where modern U.S. submarines began over a century ago.
The other bases are combined Naval Bases, meaning they have ships, submarines, and aircraft bases, as well as Command and Support facilities.
Best spots? Pearl, San Diego, or Groton. I was stationed out of Charleston, S.C., for 6 years, but NS Charleston is gone now. If I had a choice today, I'd probably pick either San Diego or Pearl - Groton sucks in the winter.
During WW2 the US Navy built 126 submarines.
They are a branch of the military. Of course they are part of the order of battle. Ships deliver Marines to the beaches, provide gunfire support, hunt submarines and enemy ships. Navy personnel are stationed with the Marines. Navy aircraft strike enemy targets both on the sea and on land.
1. Ballistic submarines 2. Attack submarines
Navy seals are stationed in North Carolina (USA) all the way along the sea border to Florida. Weird, right?
At the beginning of 1917 the German navy had 111 submarines. This was a large increase from 1916 when they had only 68.
No, India will get annihalated by the Chinese submarines. Unless you pay me big bucks to come a sink all of there submarines.
A nickname for a person in the US Navy is squid. Sailors stationed to a ship are called fleeties by those stationed on shore. Those stationed on shore are called sand crabs. The Navy Air Squadron is nicknamed Airedales.
The marines do not use submarines. Only the Navy does.
at present 16 of the submarines are in duty. 20 submarines are planned to submurge into sea in the forthcoming years.
No sorry
I have a family member that was stationed in the Navy for 4 years and was very happy with the experience.
