Located along the eastern bank of the Thames River in Groton, Connecticut, New London is home to 15 attack-class submarines, the largest single contingent of subs in the US Navy. The submarines serve throughout the world, including beneath the polar ice cap.
Almost every sailor serving aboard a submarine will pass through New London for some kind of training. The base is known as "home of the submarine force."
And personnel at the base like to call New London the "submarine capital of the world."
Steeped in history, in 1915 Submarine Base New London the first port to host US submarines, not long before the country's entrance into World War I. Since then, the base has continuously expanded as the US has grown into the world's largest naval power with the most advanced submarine fleet on earth.
In October of 2014, Business Insider was given an all-encompassing tour of the base and its operations.
