The Navy now has five submarines homeported in Guam — up from two the service had based there as of November 2021.
The Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarines Springfield and Annapolis shifted their homeport to Naval Base Guam last month. The Springfield was previously based in Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in Hawaii while the Annapolis was at Naval Base Point Loma in California.
According to Bret Grabbe, commodore of Submarine Squadron 15, the homeport shifts represent an opportunity to “support Indo-Pacific initiatives and missions.”
