Submarine Group 2 was a command of the United States Navy from 1965 to 2014. It was headquartered at the Naval Submarine Base New London in Groton, Connecticut and was a subordinate command of Commander, Naval Submarine Force Atlantic (SUBLANT). Prior to the mid-1970s, it was designated Submarine Flotilla Two. Subordinate units of Submarine Group 2 included -
- Submarine Squadron 2
- Submarine Squadron 10
- Submarine Squadron 14
- Submarine Development Group 2
Submarine Group 2 was disestablished on August 22, 2014. [1] 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.
