History
New London is the Navy's first Submarine Base and the "Home of the Submarine Force."The base’s beginnings were as a naval yard and storage depot. Established on April 11th 1868, the State of Connecticut gave the Navy 112 acres of land along the Thames River to build a Naval Station. Due to a lack of federal funding, it was not until 1872 that two brick buildings and a "T" shaped pier were constructed and officially declared a Navy Yard.
In 1898, Congress approved a coaling station be built at the yard primarily used as a coaling station for refueling small naval ships traveling through the area. By 1912, oil had replaced coal in warships and the yard was repeatedly scheduled for closure. However, October 18th 1915, the monitor Ozark, a submarine tender, and four submarines arrived in Groton, giving new purpose to the yard’s existence.
By June 21, 1916, the mission of the yard was changed forever when Commander Yeates Stirling assumed command of the newly designated Submarine Base, The New London Submarine Flotilla, and Submarine School. With the war in Europe and the Atlantic, additional submarines and support craft arrived the following year and the facility was named the Navy's first Submarine Base. Although physically located in Groton, CT. the base had its main offices and housing in the larger city of New London, so it was christened as Naval Submarine Base New London. Following World War I, the Navy established schools and training facilities at the base. Today, Naval Submarine Base New London proudly claims its motto to be "The First and Finest."
Designated the Navy’s first Submarine Base in 1916,SUBASE New London currently occupies approximately 687 acres along the Thames River. The base has 11 submarine piers (9 SSN rated, 2 Adequate).
