ALBANY is currently on a scheduled North Atlantic deployment: her first deployment in almost 7 years after undergoing an extended 5-year overhaul from 2013-2018. ALBANY's North Atlantic cruise started on December 12, 2019, and port visits included Toulon, France, as well as Rota, Spain and Faslane in Scotland. Her visit to Scotland May 25-29 was the final foreign port visit before ALBANY returned home to Norfolk, Va., on June 10, 2020. During the deployment, the submarine traveled 36,000 nautical miles.
