UK Defense Journal: The number of US Navy nuclear submarines off the coast of Europe has doubled 

The number of sightings of American nuclear submarines visiting Scotland this year has doubled over the same period last year. 

We reported previously that while visits themselves are common, the frequency of visits is not common. Neither is it common for visits to be publicised by the U.S. Navy or Royal Navy unlike the visit of the USS Rhode Island, a Trident-armed nuclear submarine, that arrived (and departed) earlier this year. 

In figures reported here, it is claimed that double the usual number of NATO submarines have been spotted heading to and from the key Faslane naval base. 

"Sightings so far this year stand at 85 compared with 43 for the whole of 2021, and include a string of America’s most advanced Virginia-class fast-attack submarines.”

WNU Editor: The US Navy is not in the habit of publicizing where their nuclear submarines are deployed. But no one should be surprised that in view of tensions in Europe, the US Navy has increased its presence in the region.
