USS PasadenaSeaforces.org Verdemar Ecologists in Action denounces the continuous presence of nuclear submarines in the Bay of Algeciras (Cádiz) Environmentalists recall that it is not the first time that damaged submarines have been docked to make repairs without security measures The USS Pasadena, built in 1989, belongs to the Pacific Fleet and is based in San Diego (California)In a statement, Verdemar has denounced the continuous presence of nuclear submarines in the Bay of Algeciras (Cádiz) and that they are strategic attack submarines that use unknown routes to act by surprise. The environmental group continues to insist that the Nuclear Emergency Plan and the activation of the GOVRA (Environmental Radiological Surveillance Groups of the Navy) be activated, since “these floating bombs can cause an accident of unforeseeable dimensions”. Verdemar denounces that it is not the first time that damaged submarines have docked at the Gibraltar military base and repairs without any safety measures. Since the HMS Tireless was repaired in 2001, specifically the reactor cooling system, more than a hundred submarines have passed through and many of them with problems. Environmentalists recall that the nuclear submarine of the British Royal Navy ‘HMS Ambush’ collided in 2016 with a merchant ship in the Alboran Sea, during training exercises. According to the official website of the US Navy, the USS Pasadena (SSN 752) is a 688-class submarine built by General Dynamics Corporation in February 1989. It is currently part of the Pacific Fleet and is based in San Diego, California. .
