260531-N-EH855-1011 NAVAL BASE GUAM (May 31, 2026) – Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Springfield (SSN 761) transits Apra Harbor at Naval Base Guam, returning to its homeport after completing a routine deployment in the Indo-Pacific, May 31, 2026. Assigned to Commander, Submarine Squadron 15, based at Polaris Point, Naval Base Guam, Springfield 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.
