US nuclear-powered submarine docks in Busan to replenish supplies

SEOUL, December 23 (AJP) - The USS Greenville arrived on Tuesday in South Korea's southern port city of Busan to replenish supplies and provide rest for crew members.

The Los Angeles-class nuclear-powered attack submarine Greeneville, named after Greeneville, Tennessee, will engage in activities to strengthen cooperation between the two allies, according to the South Korean Navy.

The submarine, which is 110 meters long and 10 meters wide, is equipped with Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from approximately 12 vertical launching systems (VLS), as well as torpedoes fired from four launch tubes.

The USS Greenville last docked in Busan in 2016, with the latest visit marking its fourth trip to South Korea. Its arrival comes about 10 months after the USS Alexandria visited the same naval base for similar activities in February.
