The USN has two 1970’s era submarine tenders forward based in Guam and which are due to be replaced in the mid-late 2020’s. It would be interesting to see if it was feasible to static base them near Learmonth/Exmouth in a cyclone protective harbour. It would be a quick way of providing this capability until more permanent facilities can be constructed.
