In 1868, Connecticut gave the Navy land and, in 1872, two brick buildings and a "T" shaped pier were built and officially declared a Navy Yard. Today the Naval Submarine Base New London (SUBASE NLON), located on the east side of Thames River in Groton, CT, proudly claims its motto to be "The First and Finest." All submariners in today's Navy will be stationed here for training and perhaps a tour onboard a fast attack submarine or with a pre-commissioning crew while their new submarine is under construction. SUBASE NLON is home to more than 40 tenant commands including the submarines and crews of Submarine Group TWO, the faculty and students of the Submarine School, and the Naval Submarine Support Facility (NSSF).
The base occupies approximately 500 acres and has over 400 buildings. A walking tour of the base is outlined in a booklet available from the Navy Family Service Center.
The base is easily accessible from Interstate 95 and is within an hour's drive from two major airports. See MUST KNOW ITEMS for directions from airports, bus, and train stations.
SUBASE NLON's mission is: "To support fleet readiness by providing quality services and faciliies to the submarine community and their families."
