Submarine Force Pacific

The Submarine Force Pacific is a branch of the U.S. Navy responsible for operating submarines in the Pacific Ocean. These submarines perform essential missions such as surveillance, intelligence gathering, strategic deterrence with ballistic missile subs, and underwater security. They are stealthy and highly capable vessels, enabling the U.S. to monitor regional activities, support national defense, and project power across the Asia-Pacific region. The force includes various types of submarines—attack submarines and ballistic missile submarines—working together to maintain maritime security and uphold the United States' strategic interests in the vast Pacific theater.
