As discussed by Smash in this post, one of the big surprises in the list of possible base closings is the large submarine base at Groton/New London, CT. Groton/New London is the home of the Atlantic’s attack submarine fleet, as well as several training facilities. If this base is closed, the attack subs currently stationed there would probably be moved to Norfolk, VA or Kings Bay, GA (the home of the Atlantic’s ballistic missile submarine fleet).
