The U.S. Navy in July apparently deployed all three of its most powerful attack submarines all at the same time in the same ocean.
In July, every Seawolf-class nuclear attack sub was under way in the Pacific Ocean. The Seawolf surge has serious implications for U.S. naval strategy at a time when America’s biggest competitor, China, fast is growing its own fleet.
USS Seawolf, USS Connecticut and USS Jimmy Carter all sail from Bremerton, Washington. The 1990s-vintage vessels are the biggest, fastest and most heavily armed of the U.S. fleet’s roughly 50 attack submarines.
Each Seawolf with its 50 torpedoes and missiles packs enough firepower to sink an enemy convoy or carrier group. The secretive Jimmy Carter also boasts a 100-foot hull extension that affords her special espionage and special-operations capabilities.

..."One Seawolf in your backyard is bad news for your war plans. Three is potentially decisive against them.
In early July, the northwest chapter of the United Service Organizations, which support U.S. service members in Washington and surrounding states, tweeted photos with a telling caption. “USONW was on hand to serve the families of three deployed submarines—USS Seawolf, USS Jimmy Carter and the USS Connecticut.”
The USO unofficially confirmed what the Navy and civilian ship-trackers also implied with their own photos and tweets. All three Seawolfs were under way at the same time. It’s not clear when this last happened, if ever."
