Many? Question is if there were ANY. Traveling Guam-Brisbane is not exactly routine for nuclear subs.

It's not? Better tell the Navy. They say it is routine.

I suspect this may have been the first time this route was traveled by a submarine that deep.

FYI, Guam is homeport to several subs and home-away-from-home for others. Brisbane is a routine liberty port.

Nuclear Subs have only been based at Guam since 2002.

Relative to the North Atlantic, the GIUK gaps, North Pacific, the route has to be a very rarely traveled route as nuclear submarines go.

It's certainly mapped far less well.
