US reveals location of nuclear-armed submarine in rare move

May 11, 2026, 18:41 GMT+1

A US Navy Ohio-class nuclear-armed submarine arrived in Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory, on Sunday, the US Navy said in a rare announcement, after US President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal.

“The port visit demonstrates U.S. capability, flexibility, and continuing commitment to its NATO allies,” US Sixth Fleet Public Affairs said in a statement on Monday.

“Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines are undetectable launch platforms for submarine-launched ballistic missiles, providing the US with its most survivable leg of the nuclear triad,” it added.
