There are submarine bases in washington; King's Bay, GA; New London, CT; Norfolk, VA; San Diego, CA; Pearl Harbor, HI. Which would you recommend trying to go to? Like, which is the best city?

personal preference. Hawai'i is great, but it's easy to get island fever there.
San dawg: housing market is insane there and it's nearly as expensive as Pearl. TONS of activities to do around there though.
Norfolk: a hole. 'sailors and dogs keep off the grass" mentality. traffic is beyond insane.
Bremerton: not the most dynamic of cities. kinda blah and boring if you are used to the big city life. jobs are scarce.
New London: Snow. 'nuff said.
but you have to balance work life too. won't matter how wonderful the surroundings are if he's miserable on the boat or is constantly underway.

The only psuedo foreign submarine base is in Guam (which is still a US territory). There are three subs stationed there Houston, Buffalo, and City of Corpus Christi. There are submarine personnel stationed in Naples Italy at SUBGRU 8 - but that is shore duty. The Tender in La Maddelena will no longer be there by the time you would get an assignment (there were never any boats stationed there anyhow).

Pearl is best, but expensive., San Diego is next but also very expensive and crowded anymore. Norfolk I wish the navy would leave there and then nuke that pisshole 5 minutes later. Don't know if it changed since I was there in the 80's but they acted like sailors were trash under their feet.

Bangor, Washington is amazing, temperate weather, lots of outdoor activities, lots of shopping, cosmopolitan city near by, and great people.
