BUSAN, Republic of Korea (July 18, 2023) - The Ohio-class ballistic-missile submarine USS Kentucky (SSBN 737) arrives in Busan. Homeported in Naval Base Kitsap, Bangor, Washington, Kentucky is a launch platform for submarine-launched ballistic missiles, providing the United States with its most survivable leg of the nuclear triad. The visit represents the United States’ ironclad commitment to the Republic of Korea (ROK) for its extended deterrence guarantee, and compliments the many exercises, training, operations, and other military cooperation activities conducted with the ROK.
