USS Minnesota returns to Naval Base Guam

NAVAL BASE GUAM (June 10, 2025) - Sailors assigned to the Virginia-class fast-attack submarine USS Minnesota (SSN 783) conduct mooring operations at Naval Base Guam, June 10, 2025. Assigned to Commander, Submarine Squadron 15, based at Polaris Point, Naval Base Guam, the Minnesota is one of five forward-deployed fast-attack submarines. Renowned for their unparalleled speed, endurance, stealth, and mobility, fast-attack submarines are the backbone of the Navy’s submarine force. Regarded as apex predators of the sea, Guam’s fast-attack submarines serve at the tip of the spear, helping to reaffirm the submarine force's forward-deployed presence in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
