the ballistic missile subs, which is the kind i was on, usually go out (and stay under) for 2-3 months at a time. they dont really pull into port because the nukes (missiles) make us a prime target for terrorists, as well as countries dont like nukes in their port.

the fast attack guys stay out to sea longer (stay away from home port longer) but they get to pull into ports all over the world.
