COMSUBLANT

Commander, Submarine Force Atlantic (COMSUBLANT) is a major command of the United States Navy, responsible for the operational control of all Atlantic-based U.S. submarines. Established in 1941 during World War II, COMSUBLANT played a pivotal role in the Battle of the Atlantic, coordinating anti-submarine warfare and offensive patrols against Axis naval forces. Throughout the Cold War, the command oversaw the deployment of both attack and ballistic missile submarines, providing a crucial component of America's strategic deterrence against the Soviet Union. Today, COMSUBLANT continues to ensure the readiness, training, and deployment of Atlantic Fleet submarines, maintaining undersea superiority and supporting national security objectives.
