Anyone know what liberty ports are like on SSGN's? Do they pull in to foreign ports like fast boats, or are they more like the boomers? I'm on hold here in Charleston waiting for STA-21 results to come out so I can go out to sea (I don't think I'm getting picked up for a multitude of reasons, but thats a different story). My word of mouth orders are to the Florida (SSGN-728, and I'm trying to figure out what I have in store.

I understand that they have two crews, and they're mostly forward deployed and tend to do crew swaps in Guam and DiGar, but beyond that, I don't know much more about them than could easily be found on wikipedia (for the lack of a better unclassified reference).

The Georgia has been to Naples and Greece so far...

I was lucky enough to get 3M and Craftsman done while on hold, and while just small drops in the bucket are two less things I'll have to deal with in the long run.
