260903-N-JI554-1002 NAVAL BASE GUAM (Sept. 3, 2026) – U.S. Navy Cmdr. Clint Emrich, commanding officer of Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Annapolis (SSN 760), salutes the national ensign while boarding Annapolis for a change of command ceremony, Sept. 3, 2026. Assigned to Commander, Submarine Squadron 15, based at Polaris Point, Naval Base Guam, Annapolis is one of four forward-deployed fast-attack submarines. Renowned for their unparalleled speed, endurance, stealth, and mobility, fast-attack submarines are the backbone of the Navy’s submarine force. Regarded as apex predators of the sea, Guam’s fast-attack submarines serve at the tip of the spear, helping to reaffirm the submarine force's forward-deployed presence in support of a free and open Pacific.
