Welcome to Guam, USS Annapolis
Håfa Adai and welcome to your new homeport, USS Annapolis (SSN 760)!
USO staff and volunteers gave Sailors a warm Hafa Adai island greeting as they arrived at US Naval Base Guam and presented them with care packages complete with snacks, toiletries and cold refreshments.
Thank you to volunteer Jason Leach for supporting this homeporting event!
According to pacom.mil: The security environment in the Indo-Pacific requires that the U.S. Navy station the most capable ships forward. This posture allows rapid responses for maritime and joint forces, and brings our most capable ships and submarines with the greatest amount of striking power and operational capability to bear in the timeliest manner.
In accordance with the strategic laydown plan 2021, there will be five Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarines homeported in Guam by the end of 2022.
