History

Submarine Group 2 was disestablished on August 22, 2014. [2] Three submarine squadron commanders, who oversee attack submarines stationed in Connecticut and Virginia, reported from that point on to Commander, Submarine Force Atlantic (COMSUBLANT), headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia.

"A smooth and responsible 'sundown' of Submarine Group 2 has been our objective for the past year. We deliberately sought to make it seamless," said last commander Rear Adm. Kenneth Perry. "We make that transition now, the result of thoughtful planning and solid teamwork." The personnel who staffed Submarine Group 2's 45 military and civilian positions in Groton have been reassigned.
