Since the end of the Cold War, the submarine force has been a leader among U.S. military warfighting communities in transforming itself to remain relevant against mili- tant Islamist extremism and other emerging threats.

Seit 2006 nimmt regelmäßig neben der Royal Navy und der Royal Canadian Navy auch die Deutsche Marine am Fleet Synthetic Training der U.S.Navy in Norfolk teil. Diese Online-Übungen stellen Computersimulationen von Seestreitkräften in vielfältigen taktisch-operativen Szenarien dar wie z.B. Führung und Schutz eines US-Flugzeugträgerverbandes durch deutsche Seestreitkräfte. (Europäische Sicherheit & Technik / SWP)
