According to the U.S. Naval Institute News, recently, a "Ohio"-class cruise missile nuclear submarine belonging to the U.S. Seventh Fleet arrived in the Philippines for a port visit during its cruise in the Pacific. This information has been confirmed by the U.S. Navy.
Photos released by the U.S. Seventh Fleet show that the U.S. Navy's "Ohio" submarine (SSGN-726) arrived at the former U.S. Navy base in Subic Bay, the Philippines on September 23, and was moored alongside the submarine support ship "Frank Cable" (AS-40).

According to the introduction, the "Ohio" is one of four modified ballistic missile nuclear submarines in the United States, capable of carrying 154 long-range "Tomahawk" cruise missiles. The report analyzed that the U.S. takes a selective disclosure strategy regarding the deployment information of these four "Ohio"-class cruise missile nuclear submarines, intentionally disclosing their presence in specific areas to "demonstrate the military strength of the United States."
The U.S. Navy previously revealed that the "Ohio" visited the eastern Australian port city of Brisbane on July 27, with the "Frank Cable" providing it with navigation maintenance support.
