The Navy said on the 23rd that the U.S. nuclear-powered submarine Greenville entered the Busan Naval Operations Base on the 23rd for logistics loading and crew rest.
According to the Navy, the Greenville is a 6,300-ton-class nuclear-powered submarine of the U.S. Navy. It is 110 meters long and 10 meters wide and can carry about 110 crew members.
It is also known to be equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles, 12 vertical launch systems, torpedoes, and four launch tubes.
A Navy official said, "Taking the Greenville's port call as an opportunity, we will enhance exchanges and cooperation between the South Korean and U.S. navies and further strengthen the combined defense posture."
This is the first port call by a U.S. Navy nuclear-powered submarine in about 10 months since the Alexandria entered Busan in Feb.
