#8  I mean, no one tells where their boomers go on patrol. In Feb 2009 HMS Vanguard hit an underwater object while on patrol. A year later, while discussing things with the French they mentioned it, and coincidentally, it turned out the Le Triomphant had hit something at the same time.
You guessed it! Fenderbender!

Highly Unusual Disclosure Made Of U.S. Ballistic Missile Submarine’s Presence In Arabian Sea

It is extremely rare for the US military to reveal the whereabouts of nuclear ballistic missile submarines while they are on patrol.

#5  There's a message here. As in, the Navy just about never lets anyone know where a boomer is on patrol. I'm assuming the blue/gold changeover happen at Diego Garcia. Which means there's a sub tender there. Which means there's other subs ...

#3  Ah'm gonna assume this was more in line with a mission briefing than a MWR visit.

#2  ...FWIW, when I was there in 1995, we got a visit from CENTCOM, and I got detailed by our squadron commander to make sure the place was reasonably spic and span.

I did, however, point out that he was asking me to sort out an Air Force base with no aircraft in the middle of the Saudi desert so that we could be visited by a US Navy Admiral.
