New Commander of Submarine Forces Tells Sailors 'Prepare for Battle' - USNI News

THE PENTAGON — Vice Adm. Charles A. Richard took over as the commander of U.S. submarine forces during a change of command ceremony held aboard the Virginia-class-attack submarine USS Washington (SSN-787) on Saturday.

Richard relieved Vice. Adm. Joseph Tofalo after serving as the deputy commander of U.S. Strategic Command in Nebraska.

“To the men and women of the submarine force, prepare for battle,” he during the ceremony, according to a Navy release.
“It is only by being prepared for battle that we can hope to avoid it. If we cannot, our nation expects and demands victory. We shall not fail.”

My son is an Ex-Submariner MMN1 and he's always said the the "Cold War" never ended for the submarine fleet. They are always on a "War Footing".
