The Pacific-based submarine is operating in U.S. 6th Fleet under the command and control of Commander, Submarine Group 8 and Commander, Task Force 69 to compliment the undersea warfare capabilities of U.S. Naval Forces Europe.

    “USS Seawolf’s deployment from Bangor, Washington, to the U.S. 6th Fleet demonstrates the Submarine Force’s global reach and commitment to provide persistent and clandestine undersea forces worldwide to execute our unique missions with unrivaled readiness. Our undersea warriors are the best in the world in submarine warfare and are equipped with unmatched capabilities designed to enhance our Navy and multiply the Joint Force’s effectiveness in competition and conflict.”

With our 'New Navy' they likely think they are in the South China sea.

If they get liberty in northern Norway there won't be any confusion about where they are.  Its fair skinned blue eyed blonds and a few brunettes.

I don't think the "New Navy" has had much effect on our Fast Attack and Boomer Sub Fleets. My son, a MMN-6, served on 2 Fast Attack Subs. As he described it, the "Cold War" never ended for our Sub Fleet.
