Submarine Squadron Ten

Submarine Squadron Ten (SUBRON 10) was established by the United States Navy on March 1, 1963, at Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut. It played a pivotal role during the Cold War as the Navy’s first squadron dedicated to the support and maintenance of Fleet Ballistic Missile submarines (SSBNs), specifically the Polaris-class. SUBRON 10 provided operational, logistical, and technical support to these strategic deterrent submarines, helping to maintain continuous at-sea deterrence. The squadron continued its mission through the transition to more advanced submarines and remains a vital component of the U.S. Navy’s undersea warfare capabilities.
