None of the Force’s “firsts,” however, has had more impact than the truly pioneering initial message sent by this very boat to COMSUBLANT in January of 1955: “UNDERWAY ON NUCLEAR POWER.” COMSUBLANT Commander, Submarine Force Atlantic (COMSUBLANT) is the Submarine Force U.S. Atlantic Fleet type commander under the United States Fleet Forces Command. The principal responsibility is to operate, maintain, train, and equip submarines. COMSUBLANT also has additional duties as commander of NATO’s Allied Submarine Command and also Commander, Naval Submarine Forces. It is our purpose to perpetuate the memory of our shipmates who gave their lives in the pursuit of their duties while serving their country. That their dedication, deeds and supreme sacrifi ce be a constant source of motivation toward greater accomplishments.
